WA-Teen returning airsoft gun to Renton store fatally shot by off-duty guard.

Where does it say that he was appointed by the mayor? I see he was removed by the mayor

I'm not sure that it matters, but that was my reading of both the city's press release announcing the committee and the city's follow up press release acknowledging the shooting and saying that Myers had been removed. JMO

It does matter if it’s not a known fact. Saying that the mayor appointed him is a pretty big statement of false

Washington state law says that airsoft guns must have the orange tip. Myers should have seen that. Certainly being a "gun guy", he would have known what that meant.

The boy had the "gun" in his waist band, so if there was an orange tip, it would not have been visible.

Myers told the teens to toss the gun aside, which they did. It would have been visible on the ground.

"Aaron Brown Myers, the man charged with murdering 17-year-old Hazrat Ali Rohani outside of a Renton sporting goods store, has posted the $2 million bond set by the King County Superior Court, records show. Myers pleaded not guilty and his attorneys unsuccessfully petitioned the court last month to reduce his bail to $100,000."

Am I reading correctly?

Tries to get $10,000 bond then doesn't get it but no worry he then posts a 2 million bond?

Do I need my eyes examined?

trying to check the docket on this case and while I can pull the screen that shows Myers case:

Case Number Filing Date Case Name Charge/Cause of Action Next Hearing Status
24-1-04367-1 KNT 06/10/2024 STATE OF WASHINGTON VS MYERS, AARON BROWN MURDER-2 NO PREMED/DEATH OF ANTHR Omnibus Calendar 10/30/2024 Active 06/21/2024

I cannot get that case number to open. I get an error screen when I click the clickable case number. grrrr. This case is very frustrating.

Very little is out there to sleuth on the accused. Unnamed powerful friends speaking on his behalf. $2 million in bail raised out of seemingly nowhere. No news. Its as if we are being told "nothing to see here, move along now"

What gives!?
