Randall Randy Joseph Lester, 44, was shot and killed while playing basketball with his son in his driveway in Winlock, Washington, on May 23, 2018. He suffered penetrating gunshot wounds to the head and torso and was pronounced dead at the scene. His son witnessed the shooting but escaped unharmed and alerted the family.

The shooting led to a several-hour standoff after the neighbor identified as 58-year-old Randolph Thomas Graham retreated into his home and refused to surrender. Deputies later entered the house and took Graham into custody; he was charged with murder in connection with Lester’s death. Lester is described as a husband to Rachel and father of two sons who enjoyed cooking, gardening, and supporting his children at sporting events. The motive has not been reported.

Did anyone in Winlock know the Lesters or have information about what happened that night?
