A suspect who police said confessed to the brutal murder of a 65-year-old veteran has now been released by a Seattle judge.
“We are disappointed in the decision to grant such a low bail for a murder suspect,” Chief Jon Schuldt said in the RPD’s post.
Officers from the Renton Police Department arrived at the scene to find 65-year-old handyman and veteran Michael Gray with multiple stab wounds to his back and side.
Police say 19-year-old K’Shawn Konscience Jimerson called 911 on Friday and confessed to stabbing someone with a knife in Renton, Washington, according to KCPQ.
Gray was found inside the apartment of the Jimerson family, where Jimerson’s grandmother had hired him to do handyman work.
“During his first appearance, the prosecutor asked for a $2 million bail, but the district court judge imposed a $50,000 bail,” a Facebook post from the RPD stated.
Jimerson claimed self defense and was released one day after his arrest by King County District Court Judge Michele Gehlsen.
