In the early morning of May 24, 2021, 35-year-old Terrance Moore was shot and killed outside the Colonial Garden apartments in Lake Stevens, Washington, after an argument with his roommate, Emmanuel Perez. The disagreement, which followed about fourteen hours of drinking and drug use, began inside the apartment and continued into the parking lot. A nearby witness heard gunshots and saw Perez emerge, followed by Moore wearing a bathrobe and socks. The witness reported Moore asking Perez how he could do this before Perez raised a handgun and fired. Moore was struck seven times in the neck, chest, and leg and died at the scene despite emergency treatment.

Perez, a 44-year-old corrections officer, fled but was arrested about a block away in a restaurant parking lot with a .40-caliber pistol and a knife; suspected cocaine and methamphetamine were found in his pockets. He was charged with first-degree murder and pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense and saying Moore had attacked him and nearly shot him with a shotgun. Prosecutors said there was no physical evidence Moore had a gun, and evidence presented at trial showed Perez returned to his car to reload before shooting Moore again. A jury found Emmanuel Perez guilty of second-degree murder in June 2024.

Does anyone have information about Moore’s final hours or about witnesses who were near Colonial Garden apartments that morning?
