Anjelia Hylton, a 46-year-old Black/African American woman, was killed by a gunshot to the back on September 26, 2021, in Des Moines, Washington. The shooting happened outside La Familia Sports Pub & Lounge on Pacific Highway South after a dispute inside the bar escalated and spilled into the parking lot following closing time.

The incident involved multiple fights and a barrage of gunfire; two other people, identified as 26-year-old Ezra Taylor and 32-year-old Antoine Matthews, also died and two more were injured. Investigators recovered 31 cartridge casings at the scene and determined that the same 9mm firearm was used to kill all three victims. Video surveillance, cellphone footage, and witness statements were used to identify a suspect, and a media release seeking his whereabouts was issued.

If anyone was at the pub that night or has information about the events in the parking lot, please share what you remember with investigators.
