Bud Eugene Morgan, 32, was shot and killed in Tacoma, Washington, in the early morning of July 24, 2021. He was found unconscious with multiple gunshot wounds in Wright Park, in the 400 block of South I Street, after passersby reported an unresponsive man; he was pronounced dead at the scene. His death was one of two fatal shootings that day in Tacoma; earlier that morning Heather Tucker, 36, was also found shot to death near 900 N. Pearl Street.

Tacoma police treated Morgan’s death as a homicide. Detectives later identified two suspects believed involved in both killings; in August 2021 a 22-year-old male and an 18-year-old male were arrested and booked into the Pierce County Jail on two counts of first-degree murder. The motive has not been released.

If anyone knew Bud Morgan, saw activity in Wright Park that morning, or has information about either shooting, please come forward.
