On the night of September 19, 2018, 22-year-old Amarah Riley was driving along Rainier Avenue South in Skyway, Washington when another vehicle pulled alongside her car. Within moments, gunfire shattered the quiet night, leaving Amarah’s life tragically cut short. Investigators would later suggest something chilling — Amarah may not have been the intended target.
In this episode of Cigar & A Crime, Dr. Dee takes listeners inside the life of Amarah Riley — a creative young entrepreneur, makeup artist, and photography enthusiast who was building her future one dream at a time. Through a careful examination of the timeline, the investigation, and the controversy surrounding a search warrant connected to a possible suspect, we explore how this case took unexpected turns and why it remains unresolved years later.
More importantly, we center the voice of Amarah’s family, who continue to advocate for answers and keep her name alive in the community. As Dr. Dee reflects on the broader questions surrounding visibility, justice, and the families left waiting, this episode reminds us that every story deserves to be heard.
Because sometimes the difference between silence and truth… is awareness.
Join us in the Lounge of Truth as we remember Amarah Riley and examine the unanswered questions that still linger.
