Seattle police are searching for a witness to a brutal beating in Belltown that killed a man.
Detectives say that material witness Deborah Hartfield is key to solving the case, but they're having a difficult time finding her.
They say she was present when the victim, Vance St. Clair, was savagely attacked by four or five young men at 3rd and Lenora in Belltown after 12:30am on May 20.
St. Clair died at Harborview Medical Center from his injuries two weeks later.
Police say Hartfield knew the victim and may have a connection to the suspects.
Hartfield is described as 44 years old, 5'4" and 190 lbs. Police say she frequents the area of 20th and Yesler St. In Seattle's Central Area.
Hatfield has an outstanding warrant and police say that's probably why she hasn't come forward.
