On June 20, 2022, 56-year-old Kimberly Smith was shot and killed at her home on Cape Labelle Road in Tonasket, Washington. Her 26-year-old son, Raymond Edward Smith, also died from gunshot wounds in the same incident. Both deaths followed a dispute with a neighbor over a construction project the Smiths and neighbor Scott Pollock were working on together.

Deputies from the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office found Kimberly and Raymond with fatal gunshot injuries. The neighbor, 61-year-old Scott Pollock, suffered a gunshot wound to his arm and was taken to a local hospital, later transferred to a Seattle medical center. Pollock told law enforcement he believed he had shot Raymond in the chest during the exchange of gunfire.

The Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation into the double homicide; early reports indicated no arrests. Does anyone have information about the dispute or that neighborhood that could help explain what happened?
