He’s a High-Violent gang member who’s wanted in the Tri-Cities.

Department of Corrections officers call him a “clear and present danger” and say he knows he’s headed back to prison for breaking probation — so he’s going to work hard to not get caught.

He has over 40 convictions on his rap sheet, including a slew of assaults, a ton of domestic violence crimes, burglary, theft and drugs.

WANTED IN SEATTLE —
A warning tonight, if you have a motorcycle, make sure it has a heavy duty chain or some other kind of theft protection because bike thieves like these two suspects are on the prowl.

Surveillance video shows them stealing a red and silver 2008 Honda sport motorcycle from the 5000 block of 5th Ave. NE in Seattle on July 29th.

The bike has not been found and detectives are hoping someone can identify the two thieves.

“As you watch the video, you don’t get a real good look, but the fact is that they’re using some type of device to bypass the ignition, in my experience, and so you see them cranking, cranking, cranking. They’re probably trying to pull the ignition out or bypass the ignition and start the motorcycle and in this case it worked,” says Ret. Det. Myrle Carner with Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound! They’re going to go the wrong way on a one-way street. They’re taking the motorcycle, making a U-turn, going against traffic and then if you watch, they’re in such a hurry the getaway vehicle that the other suspect is in, he doesn’t even close the passenger door. He makes a U-turn and follows the motorcycle against traffic on a one-way street. So, we’re not dealing with road scholars, but they’re out there stealing motorcycles.”

The Honda they stole has Washington license plate 4A8325.

WANTED IN PIERCE COUNTY —
A convicted child rapist is on the run in Pierce County and deputies are asking for the public’s help to find him.

Matthew Turner, 29, is wanted for Failure to Register as a Sex Offender. A warrant was issued for his arrest on July 28th.

Turner is a Level 3 sex offender, which is considered the highest risk to reoffend.

Turner was 16 when he lured a 10 year old girl out of her house, forced her to the ground and sexually assaulted her. Detectives say the attack occurred when he was already facing Indecent Liberties charges in another case involving two teenage classmates. Those charges were later dismissed as part of a plea agreement when he pled guilty to Rape of a Child 1st degree.

Turner began the Sex Offender Treatment Program while he was incarcerated, but was terminated due to lack of progress.

“This is not the first time he’s failed to report in with us as he is required by law to do. He was convicted for the same thing in 2012,” said Pierce County Det. Ed Troyer. “We need to know where he is and who he is living next to make sure there are no other young girls in danger,” he added.

Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to Turner’s arrest.

TUKWILA, Wash. -- Authorities say one man has died and another man has been wounded in a shooting outside of an apartment complex just south of Seattle. During the investigation, a car went careening through the crime scene narrowing missing bystanders.

Police in Tukwila say the victims, ages 18 and 24, had both been shot as they sat in a vehicle in the parking lot.

The younger man died at the scene. The other victim was taken to a hospital, where he is reported to be in stable condition.

Police say the suspect fled the scene on foot, and no arrests have been made.

Police spokesman Mike Murphy says investigators believe the suspect and victims knew each other.

While officers investigated the shooting, a Chevy Camaro went speeding through the crime scene. Police, bystanders and even our Q13 News crew had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit. At least one police car was scratched as the Camaro pushed its way between two vehicles.

The Camaro crashed about ten blocks away from the scene and the driver escaped on foot.

SEATTLE -- A southwest Seattle couple returned from vacation to find their house ransacked by thieves.

“They went through pretty much everything we had and we came home to everything on the ground,” said Marlene, who asked that their identities be protected.

The thiefs entered the house on 17th Avenue SW on August 6 by shattering a glass door at the rear of the home. They dismantled the home security system and took it. Then, they ransacked every room and broke into a gun safe and stole several firearms, including two S&W M&P15 Sport II AR-15s, a Bushmaster XM15-E2S AR-15 and a S&W M&P .22 cal LR pistol.

"It's dangerous and it's scary. Knowing that they're probably going to be used in some kind of violent crime is the worst feeling,"said Scott.

The crooks also took electronics, jewelry, furniture, and foreign coins from WWII given them by their grandparents.

“Pretty much everything that ever meant anything to us,” said Marlene.

The thieves also took credit cards and someone started using them one day after the burglary.

"You have a female and two male suspects go into a Walmart in Renton and rack up about $550 worth of merchandise using the victim's credit card,” said Ret. Det. Myrle Carner with Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound, which is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 to anyone who can identify the suspects.

Suspects in Seattle home burglary, stolen credit card case

Most of the items purchased with the stolen credit cards were things a construction worker or painter would use.  Someone did the same thing at the Tukwila Target and charged $411.65 to the victim’s credit card. Most of the items purchased there were for household use.

Marlene and Scott have since moved and are questioning their security everywhere they go now.

"The things that we can't replace. The things that we can't square away with insurance, those are the things that we're gonna miss the most," said Marlene.

SEATTLE — A Seattle family is begging for  help to find the killer of a 51-year-old grandmother.

Trina Bolar was shot multiple times inside her home on the 2800 block of E. Arthur Place on August 2.

Around the neighborhood, friends and family of the shooting victim posted reward flIers offering $6,000 for information leading to an arrest — $5,000 from family and friends and $1,000 from Crime Stoppers.  Her family says it’s just an incentive for people to step up and speak up.

You can see bullet holes inside the Madison Valley neighborhood home where Bolar was shot to death.

“Immediately, I knew something was terribly wrong,” said the victim’s daughter Rushawn Barnes.

Bolar’s family was thousands of miles away in Japan when they got the call.

“I didn’t really know how to handle it, to be honest,” said Barnes.

In pictures the family still has of Bolar, they say they hope to remember her as a wonderful, warm, and welcoming woman.

“My mother always wanted people to be happy. She wanted to know a lot of people. She wanted to be a part of their happiness,” said Barnes.

Barnes thinks her mom might’ve been too friendly by helping out and trusting people she hardly knew.  Ultimately, she believes it could’ve been a factor in the gruesome murder.

“This grandmother died for no reason that we’re aware of. Other people may die by the suspect that shot her. We don’t know,” said Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound Ret. Det. Myrle Carner.

Now a $6,000 reward awaits someone who speaks up and says something.

“We need to know if you heard anything, shots being fired, seen a car getting away, people running,” said Carner.

“Someone has to speak up, you know? If it was your family member you would be where I’m standing and you would want someone to speak up,” said Barnes.

Those who knew and loved Trina Bolar gathered at her home and in the backyard wearing T-shirts with the reward information printed on the back.  On the front, a fun-loving picture of the murder victim as the family chooses to celebrate her life.

“I never imagined my life without my mom because she was young. She was vibrant,” said Barnes.

Bolar’s death comes at a very difficult time for the family.  Bolar's husband died in April.  Barnes said her mom was just getting to know her first granddaughter.

If you have any information about this murder, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

WANTED IN KING COUNTY —
Caught on camera: A pair of armed gas station robbers who picked the wrong clerk to prey on.

They hit the Shell gas station at the corner of 1st Ave. S. and S. 156th St. in Burien — and King County detectives say the time of day they struck shows just how bold they are. “You see how they walk into the store, in the middle of the daytime, this is actually commute hours, before seven on a Wednesday morning,” says King County Sgt. Cindi West. “You can see them come around the front of the store. One of them pulls out a shotgun and points it at the clerk. The other one displays a handgun. They certainly appear as though they’re comfortable doing this robbery. They both come in, they’re faces are partially covered. One of the guys has what looks like a sheet or a jacket partially over the shotgun and they just come right in and are starting to ask the clerk for money and demanding money. The clerk did not give them any money. It could have turned out worse, but luckily in this case, nobody got hurt and they fled without anything. Brazen. This is a brazen crime. We want to get these guys off the street, because I wouldn’t be surprised if we have other crimes, similar that they’re suspects in, or they might do it again.”

Detectives say after refusing to hand over the cash, the clerk actually back up, grabbed a phone and starting calling 911 with the suspects still standing there. Thankfully, it worked in the clerk's favor this time, but detectives say it's a tactic they never suggest. "There were no shots fired in this case, luckily, but what we suggest of employees that get robbed, is cooperate, go ahead and give them the money. A little bit of cash is not worth your life, a lot of cash is not worth your life,” says Sgt. West.

Detectives think both suspects are in their 20's. The guy holding the handgun is about 5’7”. He wore a gray hoodie with the word ‘Brooks’ across the front with a red logo.

The suspect sporting the shotgun wrapped in a red jacket wore a black hoodie and a black bandana over his face.
