On the afternoon of October 21, 2021, a backyard gathering on East Everett Street in the Salishan neighborhood of Tacoma, Washington, ended in a mass shooting. Natasha Marie Tasha Brincefield, 22, was among four people shot when an assailant opened fire at about 4:22 p.m.; witnesses saw Maria Nunez-Lese shot as she tried to exit a car, Natasha on the ground nearby, and Emery Lese shot while running and then again while on the ground with his hands up. Raymond Williams was wounded and later died at a hospital.

Tacoma police identified 24-year-old Maleke Dominque Pate from surveillance photos; he was arrested at his home on October 29, 2021, and officers recovered a 9mm handgun whose ammunition matched ballistics from the scene. Prosecutors said no evidence linked the killings to robbery, gangs, or drugs and that Pate had only a childhood acquaintance with one victim. The motive remained unclear in the investigative account.

Did anyone in the Salishan area know Natasha or have information about that afternoon that could shed light on what happened?
