Justin Littleton was 19 when he and 16-year-old William Pugh were found shot to death in the early hours of January 9, 2000, along a trail at the Hidden Lake Apartments in Lakewood, Washington. Their bodies were discovered at about 2:16 a.m.; both victims had multiple gunshot wounds. Responding officers had come after reports of roughly five gunshots, but no one witnessed the shooting and no weapon was recovered.

Neither Littleton nor Pugh lived at the complex, and it was not known whether they were visiting anyone there. The trail where they were found was described as a frequently used shortcut. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department identified a person of interest but lacked sufficient evidence to file charges; the case was later transferred to the Lakewood Police Department and has since gone cold. No arrests have been announced.

Does anyone who lived near Hidden Lake Apartments in January 2000 or who knew Justin or William have information that could help move this case forward?
