A 20-year-old Skyway woman has been charged with premeditated first-degree murder domestic violence, accused of fatally shooting her boyfriend in the head as he slept, according to King County prosecutors.
Tiariyan Marr was booked into the King County Jail on Feb. 17, a week after she called 911 and reported she had shot her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Aaron Hopkins, 23, charging papers say. She remains jailed in lieu of $500,000 bail.
“Her aggression towards the other women in Hopkins’ life, including allegedly slashing tires and harassment over social media, escalated during the 6 months preceding Hopkins’ murder,” Brookhyser wrote. “While the State acknowledges that it appears the defendant has suffered prior violence at the hands of the victim, the defendant’s own report of how she committed this murder raises significant concerns about her propensity for violence towards others in the community.”
After Marr called 911 on Feb. 10, King County sheriff’s deputies responded to her third-floor unit at the Creston Point Apartments, in the 13400 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Way South, and found Hopkins lying face down on a bed, the charges say. He was pronounced dead at the scene. A 9 mm handgun was found on a kitchen counter.
Detectives say Marr claimed Hopkins pointed a gun at her face and threatened to kill her on Feb. 10 if she told anyone about what had happened during the previous days, then went to bed, placing his gun on the floor beside him, the charges say.
“Marr admitted that between 30-60 minutes later, while Hopkins was lying face down in bed and appeared to be sleeping, she shot Hopkins multiple times in the head with his gun,” a detective wrote in charging papers.
