My first reply hadn't posted, but I also thought of court records. The Pierce County Superior Court would be the repository of any records of trial. But, due to the year, 1926, research would be needed either by a researcher or the court (they may charge for that):

My first reply, if it hadn't posted:
The Tacoma Library has an online listing of obituaries published in the local Tacoma newspapers (Tacoma News Tribune [TNT] and Tacoma Herald, etc).
http://search.tpl.lib.wa.us/obits/ It identified a K. Takano, death 1918. But, that does not mean the others were not in obituaries.
The Washington Death Certificate Index, 1907-1960:
http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=0
shows Takano Deaths on that date of 5 nov 1926:
1. Noboru Takano, death at age 5 years, 9 months and 16 days
Father: Karoku Takano, mother Miyae Morimoto
2. Miyae takano, death at age 31 years 3 months and 2 days.
Father Tomizo Morimoto, mother Sumi Morimoto
3. Karoku Takano, age 42 years, 11 months and 14 days, spouse Miyae, father Kaemon Takano, mother Luki Mishiwata.
The World War I Draft Registration Card image database shows a Karoku K. Takano, born 21 Nov 1883, living in Thurston County, WA, when he registered. An Isao Takano born 1 Feb 1897 was living in Tacoma, WA when he registered.
The Washington State Library has a free research service, the ask-a-librarian program, where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event, such as a murder/. They will look up to an hour and send you the results. Contact them at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx .
Give them the date of deaths, the place, the possible circumstances. This is not just an obituary, but news articles may be over several days.
I would suggest to also post on the Rootsweb Message Board, Rootsweb probably has more qualified local researchers than on GenForum:

You could also ask for help at the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness. A researcher might look further into the microfilm. Read the guidelines first. I've set the link for Pierce county:
