I'm not defending any aspect of this jackassery, but I think there are a lot of facts that have yet to be determined. It is completely within the realm of possibility that Jameison acted in self defense, or that he may not have even been carrying a gun, or fired a round. Yes, don't put yourself in this type of situation or associate with people whom might get you into this kind of trouble, but regardless, being stupid isn't the same as murder.
"A third suspect has been arrested on investigation of second-degree murder in the shooting that killed an Eastern Washington University student outside The Palomino Club last week.
Spokane police arrested Anthony G. Williams, 22, Tuesday night in connection with the fatal shooting of Eduardo Villagomez, 21, on Jan. 18. Villagomez was a bystander in a gunbattle that broke out in the club’s parking lot around 2 a.m. after a party honoring Martin Luther King Jr.
Two other suspects, LaShawn Jameison, 21, and Kwame Bates, 26, were arrested last week and have been charged with drive-by shooting.
According to court documents, Bates told police he was leaving the club with Jameison and got into a verbal argument with another man who had pushed a woman outside. The man then went to his vehicle and opened the back door. Bates told police he believed the man was getting a gun.
Bates told officers he went back to his car and grabbed his own gun, which he had a concealed weapons permit for, court documents say. He and Jameison saw the man returning with a pistol and hid behind a car in the parking lot as the man began shooting. Bates told officers he returned fire in self-defense and fired six or seven shots.
Surveillance footage from the club shows Villagomez was shot by a bullet fired by the man who started shooting at Bates, court documents say. Villagomez fell to the ground and was run over by a Mustang leaving the scene.
