Everett police arrested Jayvone Jerome Blake, 24, of Kirkland, in connection with a shooting death last week. Everett police said that tips from the public helped them to track down Blake.

The Kirkland resident was arrested at a Lynnwood apartment without incident Thursday afternoon.

A $750,000 warrant had been issued for Blake, who was charged with the murder of Marquise Deion Brown on Monday by the Snohomish County deputy prosecutor, Craig Matheson.

Blake allegedly shot Brown, 23, of Everett on the morning of Wednesday, June 23, during an argument over prescription painkillers, according to Everett police.

Neighbors called police at 2:30 a.m. after hearing gunfire. The witnesses said that they saw a group of men walking together when they stopped to talk. One of the men fell to the ground after witnesses heard a loud “pop.” The remaining men then left the neighborhood.

Police found Brown lying on his side, in a pool of blood with a bullet wound in his forehead, according to court documents.

Everett police did not know the identification of the victim until a relative of Browns’ came forward with suspicions he had been shot after receiving a voicemail message from someone who had witnessed the shooting. The voice message, which included the sound of a gunshot and then running, along with a conversation between several people who were discussing whether “Jay,” had shot “Y.G.,” a nickname that Brown used, according to police.

The message led police to a witness that said that Brown and Blake were involved in a deal for the powerful prescription painkiller Oxycontin and Brown had sold Blake fake pills.

The two were reportedly meeting to discuss the dispute when Blake shot Brown at close range, according to court documents.

Matheson said in charging papers that, “Blake is presumed to be on the run and should be considered armed and dangerous.”

Kirkland Police Department spokesman Allan O’Neil said that the KPD worked with Everett police and assisting in every way possible.
