Heather Lee Mason Tucker, 36, was shot and killed in Tacoma, Washington, on July 24, 2021. Officers responding to gunfire in the 900 block of North Pearl Street at about 1:30 a.m. found her suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; she was pronounced dead at the scene. The Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled her death a homicide. Records list her as having no fixed address at the time of death.

Investigators initially released few details about motive or circumstances, and no suspects were publicly identified in the immediate aftermath. In August 2021 Tacoma police announced arrests: a 22-year-old man and an 18-year-old man were booked on suspicion of two counts of first-degree murder in connection with Tucker’s death and with another fatal shooting that same morning, when 32-year-old Bud Morgan was found shot to death on South I Street.

If anyone knew Heather, where she spent her time, or saw activity near North Pearl Street the night of July 24, 2021, please share what might help the investigation.
