Medina-Zelaya was the first of two Kent-Meridian High School students fatally shot in a three-day period in June 2024.

Hazrat Ali Rohani, 17, was shot June 5, 2024 outside a Big 5 Sporting Goods Store in Renton. Aaron Brown Myers, of Newcastle, faces a second-degree murder charge in that case. Myers is on electronic home detention and faces a trial date of Sept. 9, although the trial date has been continued numerous times at the request of attorneys.

TY for this update, making note for myself for later when the projected September trial date approaches

hoping Mr. Brown is still on track for trial September 9th. I look forward to Justice for his victim. Burns my butt he has been walking around a free man since last July. Let's hope he isn't still doing "overwatch" or employed as security with judgement like his.

I wonder if the trial will be on anywhere?

I wonder if the trial will be on anywhere?

With how secretive this whole thing has been, I'd be shocked if there was. The judge agreed earlier with the defense's request not to show Myers's face in the media. Suspect in deadly shooting of teen outside Renton BIG 5 pleads not guilty

But gosh, I sure hope there is some good coverage of this trial.

still no updates on this one

12/19/2025 10:30 AM Omnibus Calendar - MTHRG CHANGE OF VENUE IN 3G @ 9 AM

I wonder what the ruling ended up being. the docket gives no indication. currently this is calendared for trial on 1/20/26 but I have no doubt it will be yet again delayed. The docket is suspiciously light on entries aside from teh requisite occassional omnibus calendar hearings which appear to be little more than status hearings that shed no light on where we are with this case. No discovery entries, motions entries (aside form teh one I mentioned above, no subpoenas for trial. nothing. Just endless nothing. I fear justice will not be served in this case. Everyone involved appears content to just wait until interest fades completely. I smell an eventual plea Meanwhile Myers continues to walk the street out on bond (2 million).

I still want to know who paid that and I want to know what about Myers warranted all those glowing character witness statements from the likes of Newcastle council member Steve Tallman, journalists, attorneys, a consulate and U.S. diplomat and more. This whole situation reeks of coverup to me and I do not like it.
