On the evening of April 8, 2022, a gunshot on the 8800 block of Pacific Avenue in Tacoma, Washington left a man fatally wounded. Officers who responded after 9:00 p.m. found an unresponsive male with a life-threatening injury; he was taken to a local hospital and later identified as 30-year-old Brian Roberts Jr. An autopsy later confirmed he died from a shotgun wound to the abdomen. Roberts was a father to three daughters.

Tacoma Police Department detectives opened a homicide investigation that focused on a 31-year-old man, Jesse Romell Henry. Investigators say the shooting followed a confrontation between Henry and Roberts, who had been dating Henry’s ex-girlfriend. A warrant was issued charging Henry with first-degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm, and police reported he was located and arrested in Centralia on May 5, 2022.
