TACOMA — A judge sentenced two Washington state men to more than two decades in prison Friday in the murder of a housemate in 2018.
Bobbie Anson Pease and Jeremy Jay Warren took 34-year-old Jessica Shaunti Jackson into some woods on federal property just outside Joint Base Lewis-McChord after giving her a ride to a convenience store. They beat her with a metal baseball bat before Pease shot her, claiming she had stolen a pocket knife and a drug pipe.
Both pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
U.S. District Judge Robert J. Bryan in Tacoma sentenced Pease, 53, to 26 years in prison for murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Warren, 34, received nearly 22 years for his role.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for western Washington, the judge called the crime “beyond the realm of normal human activity.”
