The suspect in the killing of a Seattle community leader was ordered to be held without bail at his first court appearance on Friday on probable cause for first-degree murder among multiple other pending charges. The judge sided with the King County Prosecutor that the suspect, identified as Ashton Christopher Leffall, is a danger to the community. The judge also found probable cause to hold Leffall for two counts of first-degree assault, first-degree robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm. The King County Prosecutor's Office anticipates getting the necessary documents to officially charge Leffall with those crimes on Monday, at which time they "will take immediate action," a spokesperson said. Pickett Jr. owned The Postman with his wife in Seattle's Central District and also worked as a mentor and a coach for young people. His friends and family referred to Pickett Jr. as a pillar of the community. Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell and Gov. Jay Inslee both issued statements mourning his loss. Pickett Jr. was shot and killed on the 1100 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Way on Wednesday evening. That night, multiple witnesses called 911 to report that shots had been fired and a suspect was seen fleeing the area. When officers arrived on the scene, they found Pickett Jr. lying on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds, according to court documents. Officers provided aid until Seattle Fire Department medics took Pickett Jr. to Harborview Medical Center where he died from his injuries.
