Victim Dies of 13-Year-Old Bullet Wound

Seattle woman Lakessha Johnson was shot in 1998 as she sat in the front of a car leaving a bowling alley. The bullet severed her spinal cord and paralyzed her, but didn't kill her. She passed away this November, and now the 13-year-old bullet wound is being blamed for her death.

The King County Medical Examiner's Office ruled her death a homicide. The exact cause of death was multiple chronic infected pressure ulcers from the gunshot wound.

Legal questions have now surfaced. Such as, can the shooter, Ronnie Deshaun Brown, be charged with murder? And does double jeopardy apply?
