The 23-year-old Kent woman was initially ordered held on $1 million bail, but a judge on Wednesday lowered her bail to $300,000.
The whereabouts of a gold Infiniti SUV allegedly used last week to run down a 22-year-old man at a Sammamish park is still unknown, but charges filed Wednesday against the woman arrested in connection with his death provide new details of the chaotic incident.
Ka’Deidre Rials, 23, of Kent, was charged with felony hit-and-run for failing to stop and provide aid to Moises Radcliffe, who fired multiple shots at Rials’ vehicle as he apparently tried to stop the SUV from leaving Beaver Lake Park, charging papers say.
Arrested Saturday in Skyway, Rials was also charged with second-degree identity theft and two counts of second-degree vehicle prowl.
She was initially ordered held on $1 million bail, but a judge Wednesday lowered Rials’ bail to $300,000, said Dan Donohoe, a spokesman for Prosecutor Dan Satterberg.

“Although the charges presently filed against the defendant do not include homicide, the investigation into the death of Moises Radcliffe continues,” Senior Deputy Prosecutor Jeff Baird wrote in charging documents.
According to the charges, Rials and two teenage girls committed at least two car prowls in the park’s parking lot.

Radcliffe grabbed a gun from the trunk of his car and ran toward the SUV as it was backing out of a parking space, the charges say. He gave some kind of warning, then moved to the front of the SUV while pointing his gun at the occupants, charging papers say.
He began shooting into the SUV’s windshield, then was struck by the vehicle and dragged “a considerable distance” before coming to rest near the parking lot exit, the paper say.
