Brandy Escamilla, 29, and her fiancée Josilyn Ruiz, 26, were killed after gunfire erupted at a campsite near the Gorge Amphitheatre during the Beyond Wonderland festival on June 17, 2023. Both women, White/Caucasian nurses who had recently moved to Seattle and were planning their wedding, had returned to their campsite to get warmer clothes when a shooter opened fire. Brandy was struck in the head and Josilyn suffered a fatal torso wound; both died at the scene.

Authorities say the shooter was identified as 26-year-old active-duty soldier James M. Kelly, who allegedly had taken hallucinogenic mushrooms, retrieved a handgun from his vehicle, and began shooting into the campground. Three other people were wounded, including Kelly’s girlfriend and a security guard. Officers shot and wounded the suspect, who was treated at a hospital and booked into the Grant County Jail on multiple charges, including two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of first-degree assault. Kelly pleaded not guilty to the charges and is being held without bail.

Did anyone at the festival see something in the campground before the shooting that could help piece together what happened?
