Shortly after he was booked, a video appeared online reportedly of the incident in question. Kemp was later released by Tacoma police who are still investigating the incident.
“The Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is not filing charges against Mr. Kemp today. This case’s status will be “No Charges Filed” pending further investigation by Tacoma Police, and Mr. Kemp will be released.”
FOX 13 revealed the confrontation was allegedly over items stolen from Kemp which he tracked to the location of the incident. The shooting allegedly happened when he confronted the party he suspected of the theft.
