Pleads guilty
Johnny Rourn, 30, has pleaded guilty to the November 2011 murder and assault of 19-year-old Jayme Thomas. Witnesses told investigators a verbal argument broke out between two separate groups in the 800 block of Redondo Way South, Des Moines, WA around 2:40 am. The argument escalated until two men started passing around a gun and eventually opened fire into the victims' car. Both Thomas, who was in the backseat, and a 24-year-old man who was standing outside the car were shot. Both were taken to Harborview where Thomas was pronounced dead and the man eventually recovered. Prosecutors will recommend Rourn be sentenced to just over 28 years in prison, the upper end of the sentencing range. He will be sentenced on Oct. 4.
