RIP Tie One

my tribute to tie.
R.I.P Johnathan See Lim
song is "fillmoe" by Andre Nickatina

On March 17th 1998, Tie One was attempting to vandalize a building on Taylor St. and climbed the fire escape in attempts to reach the roof of the building where he had planned to paint. While on his way to the roof on the fire escape, he was confronted by a man who lived in the building, William Porter a 51-year-old photographer. The details of the interaction between the two are unclear, but Lim was then shot by Porter and died in the street below the fire escape. A San Francisco grand jury examined the case and no charges were filed against Porter. Police found fingerprints of both individuals on the gun and Porter reported he shot Lim in self-defense. The lone witness to the confrontation was a Tenderloin woman who later told police that the young man shouted, "Hold on!" seconds before being fatally wounded.


"Everyday was dedicated graff. Honestly, I've never met anyone in any kind of medium or any kind of lifestyle who has dedicate so much of they're life to one thing, he was fully full of graffiti." „
