The Brief

Wednesday marks one year since Ruth Dalton was killed in a carjacking in Seattle, with her granddaughter Melanie Roberts expressing frustration over the lack of progress in the case against Jahmed Haynes, who faces charges of murder, assault, and animal cruelty.

Roberts and the community are honoring Dalton with a bench dedication at Madison Park Beach and a fundraising event for PAWS, where Dalton adopted her dog, Prince, to commemorate her legacy.

Roberts hopes for justice and change in the legal system, advocating for Haynes' permanent incarceration due to his criminal history, while matching donations to PAWS up to $5,000 at the event.
