King County Prosecutors charged 67-year-old Lovett James Chambers, known locally as "Cid," with first degree murder on Jan. 25 in the shooting death of 36-year-old Michael Travis Hood outside a West Seattle bar on the evening of Saturday, Jan. 21.
The victim was shot four times in the chest, allegedly by Chambers, near the Morgan Street Junction and died from his injuries early Sunday morning.
According to prosecutors, "Chambers remains in jail with bail set at $5 million. Arraignment is scheduled for February 8 at 8:30 a.m. in courtroom 1201 at the King County Courthouse."
This story will be updated with details from the charging documents and testimony from Jonathan "Jamie" Vause, the man who was with Hood the night of his murder and a friend who encouraged him to move to Seattle from Florida - tragically to get his life back on track and live in a safer part of the nation.
