The King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office officially charged an off-duty security guard with both second-degree murder and second-degree assault for the deadly shooting of a Renton teenager.
As part of the charging decision, prosecutors said 51-year-old Aaron Brown Myers shot 17-year-old Hazrat Ali Rohani a total of seven times, including six times in the back. Prosecutors argued that Rohani could not have posed a threat to Myers since the teen was allegedly facing away from Myers at the time of the incident.
The homicide occurred June 5 outside the Big 5 Sporting Goods store on Grady Way in Renton.
In court filings, police noted Myers was an off-duty, armed security guard. Despite having no authority to conduct security services at that specific location, police said he told them he offered "overwatch" at the strip mall because of rising crime in the parking lot there.
