Beloved Seattle dog walker, 80, killed in broad-daylight carjacking before eight-time felon fatally stabbed her pooch: police
An eight-time Seattle felon allegedly carjacked and killed a beloved 80-year-old dog walker in broad daylight Tuesday before he fatally stabbed her precious pup.
Jahmed Haynes, 48, is suspected of carjacking Ruth Dalton, 80, near the intersection of Martin Luther King Junior Way East and East Harrison Street in the Madison Valley neighborhood, 2.8 miles northeast of downtown Seattle, just before 10 a.m. Tuesday, according to Seattle police.
SPD Deputy Chief Eric Barden says Haynes had gotten into the passenger side of Dalton’s blue Subaru SUV and attempted to push her out the driver’s door while at least two dogs were inside the vehicle.
Dalton was dragged outside the car during a struggle with Haynes while the felon veered off the road, striking a planter and grass patch.
.....“One of the citizens came up to the car to engage with the suspect and (Haynes) produced a knife.”
The witness backed off and grabbed a “large stick or a bat” to confront the carjacker.
Haynes reversed the vehicle into two parked cars, where Dalton was run over and left to die.
