Teen pleads guilty to Ballard murder

The teenager accused of killing a Ballard convenience store worker in July pleaded guilty to first degree murder.

The Seattle Times reports that 17-year-old Elijah Hall entered his plea at a court hearing and now faces up to 25 years in prison. Hall was arrested (photo above) one day after the murder at a home just blocks away from the Pit Stop at 15th Ave NW & NW 58th St, where 28-year-old Manish Melwani was killed. The crime was captured on security video, and charging papers say Hall’s fingerprints were found at the crime scene.
