FUGITIVE WANTED IN PIERCE COUNTY June 8, 2016 --
Pierce County Sheriff’s detectives need your help to find homicide suspect James Mapp.

A felony warrant has been issued for Mapp’s arrest for Murder in the 1st degree.

Detectives say he and 6 other teens shot and killed Lorenzo Parks on May 18th during an attempted armed robbery in the 12700 block of Pacific Ave. in Parkland.

"We have 6 of them in custody," said Pierce County Det. Ed Troyer.

Parks' family is angry. “They didn’t need to take it that far; the man said, 'I don’t have any money, leave me alone,'" said Sirquence Ruffin, Parks’ eldest brother. “He walked away from them.” It’s not just their family broken but six others' lives that are now forever changed. “They’ve got to pay,” said Wilbert Parks, Lorenzo Parks’ father. “The kids got to pay for what they did; it’s just sad."

Mapp is the only suspect still on the run.  "So, we have a 16 year old that’s obviously staying from hotel to hotel and we don’t know who rented the rooms, but we do know there’s 14 year old girls and other young kids in the room.  They’ll find one person who’s 18 or 19 and what they’ll do is pay cash for these rooms. Some of these hotels are known just to take cash for the rooms and they’re able to rent rooms on a daily basis and move around, trying to hide, so we can’t find them," said Det. Troyer.

James Mapp is a black male, 16 years old, 6’0” tall, 155 lbs., with brown hair and brown eyes.

If you spot him or can tell deputies where he is staying, call an anonymous tip into Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County to 1-800-222-TIPS.

There is a $1,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
