A 13-year-old boy suspected in a deadly Burien shooting last week told detectives he did it just because he "felt like doing it," according to police documents.
The 35-year-old victim was shot in the head Tuesday night in the 400 block of South 152nd Street in Burien, according to the King County Sheriff's Office. The man was rushed to Harborview Medical Center and died of his injuries a few days later.
Detectives say the suspect saw the victim, Hassan Ali Hassan, walking along S. 152nd Street and followed him for about a block before pulling out a gun and firing one shot as Hassan was walking away from him, striking him in the back of the head.
The gunman ran off to a friend's house and tried to get him to let him in, but then ran off again before they could open the door. The friend later identified the suspect to police.
Surveillance video was a key to finding their suspect.
"They were actually able to follow the suspect from the Burien Transit Center all the way to where he killed the victim, or where he shot the victim through all the different surveillance video," says Sgt. Ryan Abbott with the King County Sheriff's Office.
The suspect lived at the home of his former girlfriend and the homeowner confirmed to police the teen was gone at the time of the shooting and that her gun was also missing.
The teen was found walking on a Renton street on Friday and arrested. During the interview with detectives explaining the motive, the teen said he had been depressed and felt like if he didn't kill someone he would kill himself and because he "just felt like it," police said. Investigative documents don't suggest the suspect knew the victim.
“It's a tragic story,” said Abbott. “The victim never met this guy, didn't say anything to him. didn't even know it was coming."
The teen is being held at the Youth Service Center for investigation of murder, sheriff's officials said. Prosecutors have yet to decide if he will be charged as an adult.
Depending upon the time song takes place in, it could be before Nevada was a State, but California was.
Just a thought.
The thing that most people don’t know about Johnny Cash is that he never spent any real time in prison. A few nights here and there, sure. But he never did any hard time the way that his narratives suggest a relationship with not just prisons, but the minds of people inside. It was all tied to country music’s outlaw image, something that Cash was a natural fit for in the early stages of his career. In 1951, while serving in West Germany for the Air Force, Johnny Cash saw the movie Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison. In the black and white movie, prisoners in Folsom Prison attempt to revolt against the cruel and ruthless prison warden. The warden’s assistant, in attempts to work toward reforming the prison and making it gentler, is eventually forced out. The movie ends in a riot, where prisoners are beaten, bloodied, and left for dead. The central question of the movie is the one that is still asked today: Is prison simply a place of repeated dehumanization and punishment? Or is it a place where personal change can happen?
70% that he’ll be back on the street in less than 6-months...
“The teen”
I know what that means.
Living at ex-girlfriends house at 13YO?
Used ‘her’ gun?
Yea, that’s ‘teen’ behavior.
Probably the girlfriends mother, who allowed access to her unsecured firearm,was ‘homeschooling’ the lad in exchange for room and board.
Yep. if not sooner.
Ten bucks says that this won’t be his last.
He will be back out on the street in a couple of years.
Someone called a snitch hotline
Prosecutors have yet to decide if he will be charged as an adult.

Must be a Soros connection for the prosecutor to be so conflicted.
When I was 13 I was on a rifle team and competed 10 meets a year. The NRA sponsored our team and volunteers supervised the matches. Firearm safety was the main aim.
Seriously, never even thought about girls till I was 16. This kid at 13 sounds like he is feral and never had a chance in life but probably too many like him today.
i dont beliee in age restrictions or gender restrictions for murderers or attempted murderers.
those two girls in the slenderman attempted murders? Death penatly fine by me.
That will be an interesting aspect to follow in this case.
Another infidel cleansed.
His “whole life in front of him” should not last more than thirty days.
He needs a short life sentence. Thirty or sixty days.
So which is on the bottom of the victim food chain here.
