Miles Russell Clark, 30, was shot during an attempted theft at Morrill Meadows Park in Kent, Washington. On the evening of June 15, 2023, Clark was seated at a picnic table behind the Kent YMCA working on his company laptop when a young man ran up and allegedly tried to snatch the handgun in a holster on Clark’s hip. A struggle followed and Clark was shot in the head; officers arrived about 6:37 p.m. and found him with a life-threatening wound. He was taken to Harborview Medical Center and died the next day, June 16, 2023. The death was ruled a homicide caused by a gunshot wound to the head.

Kent Police later identified and arrested a suspect, 19-year-old Elijah A. Cain, who was charged with first-degree murder and theft of a firearm. Court documents say Cain told detectives he intended to steal Clark’s gun and sell it online. Bail was set at $2 million and Cain was released on electronic home detention after family posted bail; he has pleaded not guilty.
