On the evening of February 28, 2021, a family dinner on Camano Island, Washington, ended when 41-year-old Dean Wagstaff was shot and later died of his wounds at a hospital. The shooting occurred at his home on the 1400 block of Lakewood Drive after an altercation with his 21-year-old son, Dominic Wagstaff. The older son, 23, intervened and wrestled the gun away after a struggle during which Dominic fired once more and missed.

Police arrested Dominic at the scene and charged him with second-degree murder, second-degree attempted murder, and first-degree assault, each with a domestic violence enhancement. The defense pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity; forensic psychologists for both sides agreed Dominic suffered from schizophrenia but disagreed on the legal insanity question. In a plea agreement, Dominic Wagstaff later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and first-degree assault and received a sentence just over 20 years in prison.

Did anyone know Dean, his sons, or have information about that night on Camano Island?
