Who killed Lexi Evanson? A woman's life lost too soon to Seattle's drug crisis

Right before Christmas, early in the morning, police were called to one of the most notorious homeless encampments in Seattle. The Ballard neighborhood, on Leary. It is a violent place full of sick, desperate people.

A man had spotted his car, which had been stolen from him. When he approached it there was a body inside, pitched upside down, with its head down by the brake pedal. Her name was Lexi Evanson. She was 35-years old.

KOMO's Eric Johnson shares a deeply personal story of one of his own family members who lost her battle with addiction on the streets of Seattle. Who really is to blame for her death?

Eric also talks on our sister-station ARC Seattle with anchors Steve McCarron and Tyrah Majors about what it was like to cover this story that was so personal to him.
