In what he recalls as a “surreal day,” the father of a slain Tacoma cannabis store worker toldthat the hours leading up to his son’s killing were an otherwise “wonderful” day with a stroll down memory lane.
“It was such a wonderful day for him and I,” Dennis Brown remembers. “We went around the old neighborhood. We went to Shorecrest and Kellogg to see how his old schools got rebuilt. Then we topped it off and he treated me to Dick’s Drive-In on Lake City Way. The alleged killers, Marshon Jones, 15, and Montrell D. Hatfield, 16, were released with electronic ankle monitors by King County Superior Court Judge Averil Rothrock in February. They appeared before her in connection to an early 2022 Federal Way alleged pot shop robbery and pistol whipping.
“Judges have a lot of discretion,” Brown said. “The decision can cause a lot of collateral damage. In this case – her decision – a wonderful young man was murdered.” “The risk assessment tool utilized in every case indicated detention on Electronic Home Monitoring,” Roe wrote. “This was the recommendation made to the judge by Juvenile Court Services. The law requires the least restrictive means of detention, and the judge is obligated to follow the law.”
Meanwhile, the Brown family is preparing to celebrate Jordan’s life with family and friends this weekend.
