Redmond resident Daniel Haggart, who pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Redmond’s Cara Neil in July 2014, had his case-setting hearing continued to May 14, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney Office.

At 10:50 p.m. on July 18, Redmond police responded to reports of a fight outside of SoulFood Books at 15748 Redmond Way. Officers and fire personnel arrived, provided first aid to Neil and arrested 25-year-old Haggart. According to a Redmond Police Department (RPD) press release, the suspect and victim were acquaintances.

King County charging documents state that Haggart allegedly, “with premeditated intent to cause the death of another person, did cause the death of Cara Neil.” He was also accused of allegedly “being armed with a deadly weapon, to-wit: a knife.”
