Nelvin Lenard Tucker, a 51-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in his Scenic Pines apartment in Tacoma, Washington in the early hours of May 8, 2020. Neighbors report hearing a pop around 1:20 a.m.; they saw Calvillo leaving Tucker’s unit with his hand tucked into a hooded sweatshirt and then found Tucker collapse at his door after briefly answering knocks and calls. Tucker named Calvillo and asked neighbors to call his daughter before being taken to Tacoma General Hospital, where he died of a gunshot wound.

A warrant was issued for Calvillo’s arrest and he was charged with second-degree murder; when Tucker’s daughter called Calvillo after the shooting he said he had heard gunshots as he left but would not give his location and then stopped answering. Few details have been released about motive.

Does anyone have information about Tucker’s life in the Scenic Pines community or that night that could help explain what happened?
