At 10:50 p.m. that night, Redmond police responded to reports of a fight near a business at 15700 Redmond Way. Officers and fire personnel arrived, provided first aid to the victim, Cara Neil and arrested a 25-year-old Daniel J. Haggart. The suspect and victim were acquaintances and residents of Redmond. Haggart remains held at King County Jail on charges of attempted murder.

The Neil died Wednesday and an autopsy is pending. Redmond police detectives, working with the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, anticipate amending charges.
