The father of a 1-year-old girl who was killed last year in a drive-by shooting in Kent was arrested by Seattle police Saturday for allegedly forcing a young woman to work as a stripper and prostitute and turn her earnings over to him.

MartriceWalker was charged last week with two counts of first-degree promoting prostitution, which generated a warrant for his arrest, according to charging documents. He is being held in the King County Jail in lieu of $300,000 bail, jail records show.

Walker also goes by the name Martrice Grant, according to search warrants filed in the homicide investigation into the fatal shooting of his daughter, Malijha Grant.

A second man, who allegedly pimped out, then sold the now 19-year-old victim to Walker, is wanted on a $150,000 warrant, charging papers say. Seattle police requested that his name not be disclosed because he remains at large.

On April 16, 2015, 1-year-old Malijha was fatally shot as her mother drove toward their apartment in Kent, with her father in the front passenger seat, Kent police said.

Police believe Malijha’s father, purportedly a member of the Deuce 8 street gang, was targeted by members of the Low Profile street gang in retaliation for a fatal shooting in downtown Seattle in March 2015.

In December, DeMartrae “Marty” Kime, an alleged gang member, was charged with second-degree murder in connection with Malijha’s death and two counts of first-degree assault for allegedly firing at the baby’s parents. Kime, 24, remains jailed in lieu of $5 million bail. Kent police have previously said they are investigating a second suspect in the shooting.

Walker, 30, has denied being a gang member.

According to charging papers, the alleged victim in the prostitution case was detained by Seattle police during a prostitution sting on Aurora Avenue North in March 2015. She said Walker was her pimp and told detectives “she wanted assistance getting out of the life of prostitution,” the papers say.

She backed out of an initial interview with detectives because “she was in fear for her safety,” but in October, she provided the first of at least three statements to police, according to the charges.

The woman, who said she first met Walker in 2013 when she was 16, said he explained to her “how the prostitution industry works and how they could make money together,” then forced himself on her, the charges say.

Several months later the two began dating “and she thought he really wanted to be with her,” charging papers say. He encouraged her to get her hair and nails done, then started taking “all of the money she made from stripping,” telling her “he was saving up so they could buy a house together,” the papers say.

Upset that she wasn’t bringing in enough money by stripping, the woman told police Walker made her walk the “prostitution track” on Aurora Avenue and posted ads on Backpage.com, also for the purposes of prostitution, according to the charges.

She reported that Walker regularly beat her and had threatened to kill her and her family if she went to the police, the papers say.

The gun used in a fatal drive-by shooting that killed 1-year-old Malijha Grant in April was used in three earlier shootings, two of them in Seattle, Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas said Monday in announcing a suspect has been charged in connection with the child’s death.

The early theory of investigators was that Malijha’s father, purportedly a member of the Deuce 8 street gang, was targeted by members of the Low Profile street gang in retaliation for the fatal shooting of John Williams in downtown Seattle in March.

That theory was furthered with the naming of DeMartrae “Marty” Kime as a suspect: Williams, a senior member of the Low Profiles, was Kime’s mentor in the gang and Kime was extremely upset over his death, according to charging documents.

Kime recruited two juvenile gang members to retaliate by shooting Deuce 8 members because Kime believed the rival gang was responsible for Williams’ death, the charges say.

Less than 24 hours before Malijha was shot on April 16, the two juveniles participated in a shooting at East Alder Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way South in Seattle, two blocks from Flo Ware Park, the heart of Deuce 8 territory, according to the charges. Police recovered 14 .40-caliber cartridges at that scene, the charges say.

The morning of the fatal shooting, Kime — who has “Low Profile” tattooed across his chest — went to Kent to retrieve his gun from one of the juveniles, the charges say.

The weapon has not been found by police, but Thomas said at a Monday news conference that bullets and casings found at the three earlier shooting scenes matched those in Malijha’s shooting.

Thomas would not say Tuesday if Kime is the suspected gunman but said police are still actively investigating and looking for at least one other suspect.

In addition to second-degree murder, Kime, 24, of Auburn, was charged with two counts of first-degree assault for allegedly firing at Malijha’s parents, Lisa Lynch and Martrice Grant.

Malijha was strapped into her car seat in the back of a silver Chevrolet Impala driven by her mother, with her father in the front passenger seat, when she was shot once in the head by the occupants of another vehicle around 4:30 p.m. on April 16. She died at Harborview Medical Center two days later.

Grant has denied being a gang member. However, according to search warrants, Lynch told police shortly after the shooting that Grant is a Deuce 8 member but that “he has not been very active in the gang after recently being released from custody.”

Kime has been in federal custody since June on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm, and has also been indicted in Oregon on a first-degree robbery charge, according to police and charging documents.

The documents allege:

In October 2014, Seattle police arrested Kime at a gas station on 12th Avenue after he pointed a gun at three passers-by. Police found 12 small bags of cocaine in Kime’s pocket and later found a .45-caliber pistol in his car.

Officers took Kime to Swedish Hospital after he complained of stomach pain, telling the officers he had swallowed 4 grams of cocaine, court records say.

Apparently because of staffing issues, a police guard was not posted and Kime walked away from the hospital after being treated, the records say.

He was charged in January with unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of cocaine but failed to show up for his arraignment that month, and a $500,000 warrant was issued for his arrest, according to court records.

Charging papers say Kime was arrested in Portland on April 30.

He was booked into the King County Jail on his warrant May 6, a couple of weeks after Malijha was fatally shot.

The case was transferred to federal court in June, and Kime, who pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm in September, is to be sentenced next month.

Kime is scheduled to be arraigned Jan. 4 on the murder and assault charges.

“Kime was not the only participant in this terrible murder, so we continue to work hard to bring the perpetrators to justice,” Thomas said.

A car believed to have been driven by the shooters, a dark-blue Chevrolet Cruze, was found by police after a citizen called in a tip. A witness later told police Kime borrowed her car, a dark-blue Chevrolet Cruze, sometime around 2 p.m. on April 16, then returned it — after vacuuming and wiping down the interior — four hours later, charging papers say.

Shortly before the shooting, Malijha and her parents stopped at a Safeway grocery store at West Meeker Street and Washington Avenue South in Kent, according to the charges. Video-surveillance footage from a Brown Bear Car Wash, located across the street, captured the girl’s mother leaving the grocery store and being followed by the Cruze, the charges say.
