On September 18, 2022, 22-year-old Naej Belledent was found fatally shot on a bed in an apartment in the 3200 block of Wetmore Avenue in Everett, Washington. Officers responding to a 911 call from Belledent’s brother arrived about 7:20 a.m.; despite aid from officers, Belledent was pronounced dead at the scene. The Snohomish County Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death a homicide, with gunshot wounds listed as the cause of death. The woman found with Belledent was not physically injured.

Investigators focused on 27-year-old Jeremiah Stringfellow, identified as the primary suspect and described as the woman’s ex‑boyfriend of five years. Investigators say cell phone data placed him near the apartment around the time of the shooting, surveillance footage showed his vehicle near the scene and captured him putting on gloves shortly before the 911 call, and detectives say he conducted internet searches about the shooting in the hours afterward. Stringfellow was arrested on November 4, 2022, and charged with first‑degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm; a judge found probable cause and set bail at $1 million.
