17-year-old Black Male Teen Arrested in Killing of 6-Year-Old Jenise Wright

[Bill Cook]

A 17-year-old male was arrested and will be charged with murder
in the death of 6-year-old Jenise Wright, the child who
disappeared from a Washington state mobile home park on Sunday
and was found dead in a wooded area four days later. Police said
the suspect will also be charged with rape.

The teen’s name was not released but authorities said he was a
resident of the Steele Creek mobile home park and likely knew
Jenise from the neighborhood. The girl’s parents said she
frequently roamed the park unsupervised.

“Yesterday, we made a promise to 6-year-old Jenise Paulette
Wright that we would find justice for her. Today we have
fulfilled that promise,” Kitsap County sheriff’s Lt. Earl Smith
told reporters Saturday.

Smith said sheriff’s officers and FBI agents arrested the
suspect at his home at 2:50 p.m. Saturday. He will be charged
with murder in the second degree, and manslaughter and rape of a
child, both in the first degree, Smith said.

The search for Jenise drew law enforcement agencies from around
Washington and the FBI. Kitsap County sheriff’s Deputy Scott
Wilson said the break in the case came from evidence processed
by the state crime lab, which called in help and worked around
the clock.

If proved guilty, will he get the death penalty? If not, then it's all a waste of time.
