Bar fight fugitive: Help ID woman accused of instigating violent melee

BAR FIGHT WOMANWANTED IN KENT --
Kent Police are continuing to work on a case involving a huge fight outside the ‘After 5 Sports Bar’ last December that left two men severely injured.

Your tips already led to the arrest of the primary suspect accused of pulling a gun and attacking two men. Marlon Lemafa is in jail on a $250,000 bond.

But now, Kent Police are asking for help identifying a woman who they say was an instigator that night. You see here in the surveillance video having words with one of the victims and then violently shoving him. A few seconds later, she runs into the crowd just as police say Lemafa blindsides the two victims. You can see one of them knocked out on the ground. After the attack, she walks up to Lemafa and another three other unidentified men and they walk off together.



“This young lady, in particular, appeared to actually motivate the fight. Provoked it,” says Kent Det. Melanie Robinson. “You can see her fighting with one of the victim's initially shoving him and then subsequently he was assaulted after the fact. I think that she's a prime person in this case and we need to talk to her and we want to get her located."

She had her hair up in a bun and was wearing a sweater with a Nike swoosh on it.
