Teenager wanted in connection with Tacoma murder
TACOMA, Wash. -- Police are trying to track down a Tacoma teenager believed to be behind a November 18 murder.
Detectives think 16-year-old James "JJ" Stimson Jr. and another person shot and killed 45-year-old David Watson during an attempted robbery near a Tacoma gas station.
Witnesses found Watson's body inside his own truck in the early hours of November 18. Investigators determined that Watson had been in a confrontation with two men outside a nearby Chevron station.
One of the men pulled out a gun and shot Watson. Watson then tried to drive away before crashing his truck.
A felony warrant has been issued for Stimson's arrest for first degree murder, according to police.
Stimson stands 5'6" tall and weighs roughly 140 pounds. He has black hair and hazel eyes and is known to frequent the Salishan area of east Tacoma.
Police say the teen should be considered armed and dangerous.

Another pussy with a pistol.
Enough with the excuses for kids. Carry your weapon and shoot back!Â
I am often sick after reading about a citizen being Murdered by a career criminal. This is not his first crime only first with legal involvment. Sadly he will be out of lock up in around 5-7 yrs thanks to law makers.  Everyone one should train,practice carry and use a weapon to stop these waste of air and water.
Gun culture.Â

Here is a perfect response to your passive view: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5dBOR2V9nU
Just as he was turning his life around....
His eyes look cold......
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! Following in good ole Dad's footsteps. What a winner..Not
@blobux you know nothing of his life
Kid has an amazing future, as career criminal that is
According to a primary source, (Washington State Courts) Junior is taking after SR. WOW! Over 48 entries for Pops

How broken have we become? This is just so sad, sad for the loss of a life and for the families loss and sad that some where somebody went so so wrong in this kids growth. Heart is broken
May you be shot in the same manner as your victim before you are caught. Only then are you marginally punished for your deeds. An eye for an eye, in the very least only breaks even, punishment follows after that.Â
@NWlife stop, you are heartless
When they are this young and that bad, they should be considered for an award. The Darwin award. Those most likely to never allowed to breed. Cut there sexual organs off and send them to a seminary. That should work.
Â
In reality, let out for good behavior and let someone shot them later...
When I was 16 I was already working in my third job. A part time cleaning-up job after school every day and a half-day on Saturday. I was worried about getting decent grades in High School and going out with chicks and making sure my old beater car had gas in it... not about getting myself so worked-up over some... stupid thing... that making the choice to kill people seemed like a good idea...

 @Romey_Rome Hey! Not so fast! The wailing relatives have to be on the court house steps after his conviction decrying the unjust persecution (sic) of their li'l angel.
Welcome to the big time punk. You can run and run but they are going to catch you. This time Mom will not be able to "fix" it by blaming everyone else. You will get to see just how tough you are when they send you to the big house.
Sad. Just plain sad.Â
Hey! Stop being so hard on the kid. It's not HIS fault. Deep down inside, he's really a good person. He was abused as a child, and doesn't know the difference between right and wrong! (O.k.......I have to stop this before I make myself vomit.) If anyone sees this puke, consider him armed and dangerous. He's already proven he'll kill, so make sure you're not next. Lock and load.
 @Wolfen I was beginning to worry about you for a minute.......glad you pulled out of the nose dive.
 @Susabelle Sorry....I had a moment of weakness. In the interest of comedy, my brain ALLOWED my fingers to actually TYPE that drivel. Went to the gun range for some practice, and I'm all better now. :)
Â
 @Wolfen It happens, I understand.........I hope you had a good practice. I need to get out there myself.
Wow, young little boy - makin' a name for yourself already. Way to go - your life is now officially over as you knew it - hope you enjoyed the ride while it lasted. Stupid young boy....
 @Throbbinhood Do you mean the free ride he was, possibly, getting on our requisitioned tax-dollars? And will be again after he's incarcerated... unless he decides to "resist arrest" of course...
 @TheTruncheon  @Throbbinhood I hate it when they "resist" arrest.

Instead of looking good for the high year book you made the most wanted poster. Good going kid. Hope your mama's proud.
 @I Like Meat Well, he's still got a pretty good shot at the "high yearbook," just not so much the high school yearbook... :^D Â

 @Rockberry Such language! The Moderator here used to be a real scold and give comments like that der boot, chop chop.Â
if so, then find him guilty. Say a prayer and hang him. No need to share this planet with a punk 16 year old that would pull a gun and shoot an unarmed innocent man posing zero threat.

Another proud public school grad. Bet you have a diploma too right?
Just another punk.
Evil eyes, I hope to god that this is not going to be a case where he is caught and release because he is a minor. He is 16 and every 16 year old I know knows right from wrong. I think its time to start charging everyone as adults when they know right from wrong. Not when they are 18.Â
 @Just my say I've said that for awhile, charge them as murderers if there is evidence that they've murdered someone.
How much less dead are you if a juvenile and/or a female murdered you?Â
Time to charge him as an adult when found. No doubt he's probably a gang banger.

 @SoTweetie Good one. ;)
 @SoTweetie Okay, curious on why that got removed. Someone must not have a sense of humor.
 @SoTweetie Ouch...
 @SoTweetie  @Zoso ohhhh SNAP!
 @Getov Mylon  @Susabelle  @SoTweetie  @Zoso I've had a total of five glasses of wine my entire life â and they were all in the same afternoon when I was about 13...Â
I can assure you I haven't even looked at Mr. Reisling or any of his grape infused buddies in more than 30 years, and still get a bit queasy at the very thought. :^D
Â
Nope, this is just me, cold sober and reasonably clearheaded. If I do come in here loaded to the gills though (it's only wine I can't stomach the thought of; good beer or Bailey's Irish Cream are welcome in this house), I'll be sure to point it out because it would be pretty hard to detect the difference between my demented sense of humor and a typical drunken stupor.Â
Â
By the way, excellent screen name, I always smile when I see it.Â
 @MargeGunderson  @Susabelle  @SoTweetie  @Zoso Marge, you are in fine form tonight. If I didn't know better , I'd say you had a date with Mr. Riesling!
 @Susabelle  @SoTweetie  @Zoso Yeah, it'll snap, all right...
