SEATAC, Wash. — A suspect charged in a deadly SeaTac stabbing is believed
to be connected to other stabbings on trains or near light rail stations
in Seattle, according to charging documents.

Jimmy Lee Gorman, 27, was charged with second-degree murder after
allegedly stabbing Willy Mbugua, 24, on Oct. 30.

Mbugua died after reporting his own stabbing to 911 in SeaTac. King County Communication Center received a call from a man who reported he had been stabbed near the 18200 block of International Boulevard South at around
11:14 p.m.

Prior to the stabbing, police said Gorman was sitting across Mbugua on a
King County Metro bus. Surveillance footage released by King County Metro showed Gorman thrusting a knife towards Mbugua's neck and holding it
there. Gorman exited the bus, while Mbugua got off one stop later. The
victim called 911 less than 10 minutes after he got off the bus, according
to police.

Gorman admitted to authorities that he pulled a knife on Mbugua,
threatened his life and stabbed him. According to charging documents,
Mbugua went up to the suspect and tried to shake his hand.

But Gorman told police "he got scared and didn't want to take a chance,"
so he stabbed the 24-year-old in the chest.

Investigators identified Gorman as the suspect in another stabbing six
days before the SeaTac incident because he matched the description
detailed in the video. In the Oct. 24 stabbing, police said Gorman
followed the victim off the train and repeatedly stabbed him. Authorities believe Gorman could be the suspect in stabbings at the International
District and Angle Lake light rail stations.

“This is the only case involving this defendant that’s been referred to us
at this point. If there’s additional cases or information sent to us by
the sheriff’s office we’ll act on it right away,” said Casey McNerthney
with the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.

Prosecutors requested a $1 million bail for Gorman.

“This is concerning because people should feel safe whether they’re on a
bus or any part of King County. We wanted to make sure to get this
information before the court as quickly as possible. We want people to
feel safe and know that prosecutors are doing what they can when these
cases are sent to us,” McNerthney said.
