Johnathon Felipe Higgins was 16 when he was killed on January 27, 2017, in Bremerton, Washington, a slaying that was part of a quadruple homicide. Emergency crews responding to a 911 call found a house on fire; after the blaze was put out the bodies of Johnathon, his friend Hunter Schaap, 16, and 37-year-old Christale Careaga were recovered, each shot execution-style. The next day investigators found the body of 43-year-old John Careaga in his burned pickup at a Mason County tree farm; he had also been shot to death.

The Careagas owned a popular local restaurant, Juanito’s Taqueria. The fires and the manner of the killings indicated a deliberate, targeted attack. In June 2022 a task force arrested three men — Danie J. Kelly Jr., Johnny J. Watson, and Robert J. Watson III — and charged them with multiple felonies including first-degree aggravated murder, first-degree murder, first-degree arson, and first-degree burglary; the suspects pleaded not guilty. Investigators said they believed members and associates of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club were involved and that other people may have taken part.

Does anyone have information about Johnathon’s movements or contacts in late January 2017 that could help investigators?
