PUYALLUP, Wash. — A felony warrant has been issued for a 26-year-old man in connection to a deadly shooting outside Emerald Queen Casino in 2020. The warrant comes just two weeks after a separate arrest was made in the case.
Elijah Dominick Hylton is accused of killing 25-year-old Ty Jenkins on Aug. 1, 2020. Jenkins was found shot on the second floor of the parking garage of the casino at 2920 East R Street.
Puyallup Tribal officers and casino security performed CPR, but Jenkins did not survive. Tacoma police took over the investigation at the request of Tribal police.
Nearly three years later, on Feb. 9, 2023, Tacoma police announced they arrested a 29-year-old man in connection to the case. The man was booked into jail on a first-degree murder charge.
Tacoma-Pierce County Crime Stoppers is now offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Hylton.
He is described as a Black male, 5'9" and 250 pounds.
If you have any information about his whereabouts, you can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or contact the Tacoma Police Department.

Thoughts? I am taking a moderate risk here in that I can't find anything to verify Hylton is still at large as of today's posting date (May 23rd, 2023), since I can't find the charges against him in Washington Odyssey Portal. I am simply reasonably assuming he's still at large as of 5/23/2023 to make a thread since I have not seen any new articles claiming otherwise since that late February article. If Hylton has since been caught and/or is caught in the future, anyone is more than welcome to email our website contact form and let us know.
