In the early morning of August 19, 2022, 36-year-old Irah Sok was shot and killed in her south Everett, Washington, home after three armed intruders forced entry by kicking in the front door at about 3 a.m. The assailants went to the second floor, entered the master bedroom where Sok slept beside her young child, and one of the intruders fatally shot her. Sok’s husband was forced to the floor, zip-tied, and the suspects ransacked the house, stealing thousands of dollars’ worth of luxury items. Deputies found Sok deceased when they arrived; the Snohomish County Medical Examiner confirmed a single gunshot wound and ruled the death a homicide.

Sok was a photographer who specialized in maternity and newborn portraits and had opened her own studio, Irah Sok Images, in Mill Creek seven months before her death. Family members described her as full of life and very kind; nearly 100 people attended a candlelight vigil in her memory. Two suspects were federally charged in August 2024 in connection with the case, and later developments named a third suspect arrested in July 2025. Does anyone have information about that night or about the people who targeted homes in that area?
