Fugitive charged with murder of Seattle hip-hop artist
SEATTLE -- Police have charged a 22-year-old man with the murder of Max Gasoi in Seattle's First Hill neighborhood on Nov. 29.

Tyrese B. Harrison is still on the loose, and police have issued a $1 million bail warrant for his arrest on second degree murder charges.

He may also go by the moniker Reese Morgan or “Young Reese”, police said. He's described as 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 165 pounds.

Gasoi, 21, was found shot on the street less than a block from St. James Cathedral, in the 800 block of Ninth Avenue. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Friends and family said Gasoi was a local hip-hop artist who had started his own label, So Hood Records, and had received his business license only a few days ago. Gasoi and others had recorded an album that is slated for release this month.

Police say if you see Harrison, you are urged to call 911 or the Seattle Police Homicide Unit at 206 684-5550. Police say they consider Harrison is armed and dangerous.
