Kirkland Warren was released earlier this month after an arrest for charges of assaulting his ex-girlfriend. Days later, the bodies of his ex-girlfriend and her 7-year-old daughter were found. Police named him a person of interest in their disappearance.
SEATTLE — Kirkland Warren was out on bail pending a long-delayed murder trial in Arkansas. But when he was arrested in southwestern Washington state early this month on charges that he assaulted his ex-girlfriend and fired a gunshot into her apartment, he quickly posted bond and was released again.
Cymber Tadlock, the deputy prosecutor who has handled Warren’s case in a 2017 killing in Jefferson County, Arkansas, said the Vancouver Police Department in Washington notified her on March 2 that they had arrested Warren for drive-by shooting and other charges, stemming from an incident in December. They also told her the next day that Warren had a court appearance and his bail was set at $100,000.
“I wish everything could happen more quickly,” Tadlock told The Associated Press. “I wish his murder case could have been resolved by now. It’s had delay after delay, and now it’s had a tragedy.” But except in cases of aggravated murder, Washington law presumes someone will be released from custody until they are tried and convicted. Courts can impose conditions — such as bail or electronic monitoring — to help ensure public safety and to keep defendants from fleeing.
The case has been delayed pending psychological evaluations, discovery disputes, the pandemic and, most recently, by a fall that Hampton’s 91-year-old mother took, resulting in a broken hip.
