On November 5, 2018, 34-year-old Tiffany LeAnne Roberts was shot and later died at Astria Regional Medical Center after being found in the hallway of a North Third Street apartment in Yakima, Washington, with a single gunshot wound to her upper chest. Authorities say the shot was fired through the bedroom door of 87-year-old grandmother Wanda Lee Roberts, who had been living with Tiffany so she could help her get her life straightened out. A 12:20 a.m. 911 call from Wanda reportedly included the statement that she had to shoot her granddaughter and that Tiffany had been threatening her. A black handgun and a single shell casing were recovered in Wanda’s room.

Court records show Wanda had sought a protection order against Tiffany the year before, alleging an incident in which Tiffany pushed her grandfather; that order was denied. Wanda was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder and held; at her first court appearance her attorney said she acted in self-defense. The judge found probable cause for the murder charge and noted the matter could be viewed as manslaughter or reckless endangerment pending further investigation.

If anyone knew Tiffany or has information about what happened in that apartment on November 5, please share what is known.
