Kent Police are trying to find three or four juveniles who reportedly beat to death a 56-year-old Kent resident.<\/p>\n

Troy Michael Harrison died Sept. 8 after an Aug. 22 incident on the roadway at East James Street and Central <\/a>Avenue North<\/a>, according to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office. The Sept. 10 report by the medical examiner listed the cause and manner of death as pending.<\/p>\n

The man died from injuries suffered during an assault Aug. 22, according to a Sept. 10 Kent Police news release.<\/p>\n

Officers responded at about 9:04 p.m. Aug. 22 to calls of a person being assaulted, according to police. Several witnesses reported a man had been on a bicycle and was being assaulted by three or four juveniles. One of the witnesses attempted to interrupt the assault by honking their horn, but the beating continued, according to police.<\/p>\n

When officers arrived, the juveniles had fled the scene. Puget Sound Fire provided aid to Harrison, who had diminished consciousness. Paramedics transported Harrison to a hospital in stable condition, but since the assault his condition deteriorated and ultimately resulted in his death, according to police.<\/p>\n

Police are pursuing active leads on the case. Anyone with information is asked to call the police tip line at 253-856-5808. Police did not release any description of the suspects beyond listing them as juveniles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
