Sopheap Sin, a 34-year-old Tacoma resident, was shot in the early hours of February 27, 2025 near the 200 block of South 46th Street. Police responding to reports of gunfire found him with gunshot wounds; Tacoma Fire Department medics transported him to a local hospital. The Pierce County Medical Examiner later determined the cause of death was gunshot wounds to the torso and right forearm and ruled the manner of death a homicide, with the family saying they made the painful decision to remove life support.

Loved ones described Sopheap as funny, kind-hearted, and always willing to help family and friends. A GoFundMe was set up to assist with funeral arrangements, and his service was scheduled for March 29, 2025, at the Khmer Theravadin Buddhist Temple in Tacoma. As of late March 2025 no arrests had been announced and police had not released information about suspects or a motive.
