TUKWILA, Wash. (AP) — A 17-year-old youth arrested in the stabbing death of a teenage girl in Tukwila, Wash., has been ordered held in detention for investigation of second-degree murder.
A Tukwila police report released Monday by prosecutors says the young man told police he had “felt an urge to hurt someone.” The Seattle Times says an uncle reports that the young man had smoked synthetic marijuana.
The deadline for prosecutors to file charges is Wednesday.
The victim has been identified as 17-year-old Jasmyn Tully. She was found early Saturday, unconscious and bleeding from stab wounds. She was pronounced dead at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
