Rikkey Janee Outumuro, 39, was killed in Centralia, Washington, on the night of October 30–31, 2021. A beloved performer known as Tru Starlet and a visible activist in the local LGBTQ+ community, she was found on the morning of October 31 on the couch of the South Gold Street home she shared with her boyfriend. Investigators determined she had been shot five times in the chest and was found in a defensive posture, arms shielding her face.

Her 28-year-old boyfriend, Cristopher Allen Gaudreau, told police he awoke on the living room floor and discovered Rikkey deceased. He was arrested the same day after family members at the scene voiced suspicion and police located a 9mm pistol hidden in a back-bedroom tool chest. That firearm had reportedly been returned to Gaudreau by police three days earlier after being seized in an unrelated unlawful discharge. An additional charge was added when investigators said he had also shot at a friend on the night of the murder.

Rikkey was remembered as a licensed cosmetologist, the first Miss Gay Lewis County and a former Miss Gay Olympia, and a caring mother figure to a six-year-old boy. If anyone knew Rikkey or has information about what happened that Halloween weekend, please share what is known.
