How the 2022 Everett homicide, home invasion unfolded

At approximately 3 a.m. on August 19, 2022, deputies responded to the 2600 block of 96th Street Southeast in Everett for a shooting. At the scene, deputies located the victim, who had been shot and was pronounced dead at the scene.

During the SCSO investigation, detectives learned three armed suspects kicked in the front door and forced entry into the home.

The suspects went to the second floor of the residence and entered the primary bedroom. One of the suspects shot the 36-year-old victim as she lay in bed next to her 7-year-old child. The victim’s husband was forced to the floor and zip-tied by the suspects.

The suspects “ransacked” the victim’s belongings and stole thousands of dollars’ worth of luxury possessions. Once the suspects fled, the victim’s husband ran out of the residence and made contact with a neighbor who called 911.

The investigation continued for several months before detectives, along with the Kent Police Department, got a break in the case at the end of 2022.
