Seattle judge releases accused killer 27 hours after 65-year-old military veteran stabbed to death --K'Shawn Konscience Jimerson, 19, was released on bail one day after his arrest | 2 Oct 2024 | A judge in Washington state released a teen one day after his arrest for allegedly stabbing a 65-year-old veteran to death at a home. As first reported by FOX 13 Seattle, the Renton Police Department said 19-year-old K'Shawn Konscience Jimerson called 911 just after 2 p.m. and told the operator that he had stabbed someone and would be standing "outside with the knife." ...When law enforcement officers were asked if they objected to Jimerson's release, they marked "yes" on a court form, stating, "Jimerson, who is 19, stabbed a 65-year-old man with a large knife during an argument." At his first court appearance, 27 hours after his arrest, Judge Michelle Gehlsen initially set bail at $50,000 despite finding probable cause for second-degree murder and the prosecutor asking for $2 million bail. Police said Jimerson posted bail and has been released.
