Tumwater beating victim dies; more charges possible - Crime ...
Ronald Kevin Smith of Tumwater died July 23 at Tacoma General Hospital.
His alleged assailant, 22-year-old Michael Miles, faces charges of first-degree assault and robbery.
Miles might be charged with first-degree murder, said Scott Jackson, Thurston County deputy prosecutor. He said he’s waiting on evidence from the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office, which is conducting the autopsy.
Police found Smith just after midnight July 5 lying on West Lee Street. Smith was so badly injured that detectives initially couldn’t tell whether he had been struck by a car or beaten. Smith remained unresponsive and was unable to tell detectives what happened to him, police said.
A tip led police to Miles, said Tumwater Police Detective Jen Kolb. According to court papers, Miles told someone he had assaulted Smith and stolen his wallet and cellphone. He reportedly admitted in a jailhouse interview that he had assaulted the man when he became “enraged” by a comment and described stomping on the man’s head.
Kolb said that Miles’ attack on Smith was random, and that the men didn’t know each other.
Miles, a transient, previously had been arrested on suspicion of theft, malicious mischief, drinking in public and assault in Olympia as well as Stockton and Lodi, Calif.
According to an obituary placed by the family, Smith was born in Olympia and graduated from Tumwater High School in 1969. He was a state employee for more than 20 years before retiring in 1998.
A celebration of his life will be held at 3 p.m. Monday at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1925 Boulevard Road, Olympia.
