Keith Ice Ayson, a 58-year-old Black man who was homeless in Seattle, was fatally shot on June 4, 2017. His body was not found until July 11, when a passerby discovered decomposed remains in an isolated ravine in the Highline area south of downtown, where a dead-end road meets a highway.

Investigators tied a 25-year-old Seattle man, Malcolm McGee, to the killing. Police said the connection may have involved disputes among people living on the street: one reported disagreement over an $8 marijuana transaction witnessed by a King County Sheriff’s deputy the day before the shooting, and another alleged argument after McGee offered Ayson’s girlfriend $5 for sex. McGee was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and held on $1 million bail; he also faced a felony drug possession charge.

The case has had significant legal developments, including trials and appellate review that affected the conviction. Does anyone who knew Keith, or who was in the Highline area that June, have information that could help fill gaps in what happened?
