On the evening of February 25, 2024, 22-year-old Gianna Stone was shot while sitting in a car with five friends at Sam Peach Park in Puyallup, Washington. According to investigators, individuals carrying handguns approached the parked vehicle and demanded property. As the driver tried to flee, someone opened fire; a bullet passed through the rear windshield and struck Gianna in the head. Police were called about 9 p.m. after reports of gunfire and shell casings found in the street. Gianna was taken to a Tacoma hospital, where she later died.

Investigators say the shooting began as a random attempted robbery. A months-long investigation identified three teenagers believed to have been involved; authorities allege one of them waited in a vehicle while two others confronted the car armed with handguns. Two suspects have been arrested; the case against a third remains pending. If anyone witnessed the incident at Sam Peach Park that night or has information about the people or vehicle involved, please share what is known.
