James Ronnie Timmons, 45, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of November 4, 2017, while playing the mobile game Pokémon Go near South 66th and South Tyler Street in Tacoma, Washington. A witness heard gunshots around 2:25 a.m. and called 911; officers found Timmons on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead about an hour after being taken to Tacoma General Hospital.

Timmons was a well-known volunteer with Mount Tahoma High School’s athletics program, running the concession stand and active in the booster club. Friends and family described him as gentle and humble; he had recently lost his mother and grandmother and was living with a supportive family friend. The Tacoma Police Department investigated but has not identified suspects or a motive, and authorities say he was not involved in illegal activity and had no known enemies.

Did anyone in the area see someone near South 66th and South Tyler that night or have information that could help identify who shot James Timmons?
