King County Sheriff’s Detectives were to meet with county prosecutors this week to determine if additional charges will be filed in the death of Lakessha Johnson, 34, who died this week in Kent from a gunshot wound she suffered in 1998.

In November of 1998 Johnson was the passenger in the front seat of a car that was leaving the Skyway Bowl on West Hill.  Ronnie Brown was in the back seat of the vehicle. Brown reported at the time that he picked up a bag that contained a gun and it went off, striking Johnson in the back.

Brown was found guilty of charges relating to this incident and served approximately two years in prison, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Brown is in prison on unrelated charges.
