– Man charged with hate crime
– Pot shop shooting near Tacoma.
Accident – Death – Obituary News : A 31-year-old man was arrested this week for allegedly shooting a man taking a break from his job at a cannabis shop south of Tacoma. The suspect, Dallas Clayton Stevens, is accused of committing a hate crime in the May 17 shooting at a Zips Cannabis dispensary on Pacific Avenue. Stevens, a white man and former U.S. Army soldier, reportedly pulled up in a black SUV and shot the victim, a Black man, three times after asking about a nearby strip club.
According to charging papers, Stevens made concerning internet searches on his phone after the incident, including queries about school shooters, sniper ranges, and human tracking devices. The Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has not provided further details on why Stevens targeted the victim based on his race.
Stevens pleaded not guilty at his arraignment and is currently held on $750,000 bail. Despite having no prior criminal convictions, prosecutors noted his past arrests for assault, intimidation, and stalking. During an interview with detectives, Stevens denied involvement in the shooting, but discrepancies in his statements and evidence led to his arrest.
The victim, who was shot in the stomach, underwent surgery and faced medical complications. Deputies found shell casings and bullet holes at the scene, with surveillance footage capturing the incident. Detectives received tips identifying Stevens as the suspect, leading to his apprehension with a set of brass knuckles in his possession. A search of his Cadillac revealed a loaded handgun, despite his previous firearm application denial.
The case has sparked outrage and concern over hate crimes in the community. The victim, who had only worked at the cannabis shop for three weeks, expressed confusion over the motive behind the attack. As the legal proceedings continue, the community awaits justice for the victim and accountability for the accused perpetrator..
