Taylor Craig Fehlen, 37, was shot and killed in Seattle on the night of August 9, 2018. A Toledo, Ohio native who lived in West Seattle for about 30 years, Fehlen worked as a service plumber and was the lead guitarist for the band From The Ashes. He enjoyed BMX riding and snowboarding.

According to investigators, Fehlen was a passenger on a King County Metro bus when an altercation with another passenger, 16-year-old Loyan A. Ahmed, escalated. After both men exited the bus at 35th Avenue SW and SW Morgan Street, Ahmed produced a handgun and shot Fehlen multiple times. Fehlen was found on the sidewalk, taken to Harborview Medical Center, and later died of his wounds.

Witnesses and bus surveillance identified a young Black male in a dark hoodie as the suspect; images released by police prompted Ahmed’s mother to recognize him and turn him in. Ahmed was charged as an adult with second-degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Did anyone know Taylor or see the bus around 35th Avenue SW and SW Morgan Street that night?
