Teen accused of killing homeless man pleads not guilty
SEATTLE -- A Renton teen accused of shooting four homeless people -- executing one wounded man with a shot to the head -- pleaded not guilty Thursday to first degree assault and murder charges.
Prosecutors believe 18-year-old Say Keodara shot and killed Victor Parker last September. He's also accused of seriously wounding three other young people in the shooting, which police say resulted from a botched robbery.
On the day of the attack, police received a call of shots fired at the corner of Rainier Avenue South and South McClellan Street. When they arrived, they found Parker dead of a gunshot to the head and three other homeless people wounded. One man had been shot twice in the chest, while a woman was shot in the thigh.
The survivors told police they were sitting in a bus shelter when a car stopped and someone inside asked if they wanted to buy cocaine, according to police. The car left the scene, but its three occupants returned on foot moments later.
One young man pulled a pistol and demanded that Parker and his associates hand over their money, according to charging documents. Keodara is alleged to have started shooting when one of the victims bolted.
Keodara is next due in court on August 30. He's currently being held on $1 million bail.

There is no such thing in America as an independent press. You know it and I know it... The business of the Journalist is to destroy truth; To lie outright; To pervert; To vilify; To fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his county and his race for his daily bread. - John Swinton, newsman and former editor at The New York Times
These groups of worthless gang banging scum need to be classified as domestic terrorists and executed. They are a complete waste of space and serve no purpose in society.
Not only is he evil, he is stupid as well. Trying to rob 4 homeless people? Give the POS life.
 @Beau's Mom I don't want a single dime of my hard-earned taxes going to support a beastly killer. If he's guilty, execute the filth and save us all some money. That said, where's the mugshot of this murder suspect who is being held on one million dollars bail, who is accused of shooting his wounded victim again, at point-blank range, IN THE HEAD, while his helpless prey lay, begging for mercy, in a growing pool of his own blood?
There better be absolutely no mercy when sentencing this guy. He has absolutely no reason to live.
"Prosecutors believe 18-year-old Say Keodara shot and killed Victor Parker... executing (him) with a shot to the head"

If so, this is MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE. There's NO coming back from the evil inside this beast that caused him to do this, if he's found guilty. God may forgive him but we need to eliminate him like a rabid animal, if he's found guilty, as we would any other out-of-control, dangerous four-legged creature that went around attacking and killing humans.

Hang this heinous demon high... if he's found guilty.
