BREMERTON — A 21-year-old suspect in an early morning homicide investigation has been booked into the Kitsap County Jail on a charge of murder in the first degree. Bail was set at $2 million.

The man, later identified as William Bradley Jackson III, 21, called 911 around 1:58 a.m. Dec. 15 to report that he had been drinking and had killed his grandfather about an hour earlier.

Kitsap County Sheriff’s patrol deputies were dispatched to a home in the 2000 block of NW Shamrock Drive, in the Rocky Point area of Bremerton, at 1:58 a.m.

Sheriff’s deputies arrived on-scene at 2:04 a.m. The man surrendered to responding officers at 2:11 a.m. without incident.

Deputies entered the premises and found a deceased man, Hurene Bradley Jackson, 90, inside a bedroom at the residence, according to Deputy Scott Wilson. No other persons were found at the scene.

The 21-year-old was transported to an area hospital for treatment of injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

Following an autopsy by the county’s forensic pathologist, the coroner will make a determination as to cause and manner of death. The victim had multiple injuries consistent with knife wounds.

No other persons are believed to be involved.

During their investigation, several law enforcement officers walked around the home at 9:30 a.m. Some of the officers wore white crime scene pullovers. The home was marked off with yellow police tape.

Persons who may have information about this case are asked to contact Det. Michael Grant at 360-337-5611.
