Six women stood in silence outside the Seattle Justice Center on Fifth and Cherry Wednesday, Aug. 29, to remember six men who died while homeless in King County in a 19-day period in late July and early August.
The men were Michael C. Robinson, 42, William Lacey, 52; Jimmie James, 57; Rex Taylor, 56; Dean Halpaus, 42; and Michael P. Williams, 42.
According to the vigil's organizers, Women in Black, the county Medical Examiner has counted 29 homeless people dying on the streets or in a violent manner this year.
