Teen who killed 'Tuba Man' arrested in Seattle drug sting


Kenneth Kelly, one of the three teens who killed "Tuba Man" Edward McMichael in fall 2008, was arrested again Sunday night in a Seattle police drug sting in City Hall Park.
Kelly, a repeat felon, hasn't been out of prison two months. He was released from Stafford Creek Corrections Center on Sept. 25, and had been there since Dec. 11, 2012 for an unlawful gun possession conviction.

McMichael was a beloved busker who played his tuba for years outside Seattle sports and arts events. He was near a bus stop in the 500 block of Mercer Street on Oct. 25, 2008, when Kelly and two others started beating him. One punched McMichael so hard that he fell and hit his head on the concrete.
He died days later from his head injury.
During the beating, the teens grabbed McMichael's wallet and one pulled off his 1979 Sonics NBA World Championship ring, which was a gift from a friend. McMichael's public memorial drew about 1,500 people, including King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg.
