Who Shot Amarah Riley? Reward Offered In Skyway Killing

SKYWAY, WA - One week ago, 22-year-old Amarah Riley was driving southbound on Rainier Avenue South when someone drove up next to her and opened fire. Now, there's a reward on offer for information about the seemingly random killing.

Police have not identified a motive behind the killing. Her relatives don't even know why Riley was in the Skyway area, which is an unincorporated part of King County between Renton and Seattle. Riley lived in Kent, her cousin Alexis Hood told KOMO News.

"Amarah was a young woman who was full of life and had a laugh that was contagious. She loved being in front of a camera and was an amazing makeup artist," her family wrote in a GoFundMe fundraiser appeal.

Riley died just north of Renton Avenue South around 10:30 p.m. last Wednesday. After she was she shot, her car careened across Rainier Avenue and crashed.

Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information about her death. In addition, a family friend is offering a $10,000 reward. If you have information about Riley's killing, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or the King County Sheriff at (206) 296-3311.
