Payton J. Beck-Glessner, 19, was shot and killed in her Everett, Washington apartment on December 15, 2016. A graduate of Bothell High School who was attending the Toni and Guy Hairdressing Academy, she was shot in the chest and walked into the living room before collapsing. She was still breathing when police arrived but died shortly after at a local hospital. The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled her death a homicide.

Her 22-year-old boyfriend, Jonathan Charles Duncan, was present in the apartment and was arrested. Duncan initially told investigators the shooting was an accident, saying he was playing with the gun and that it discharged as he pulled the slide back while sitting next to Beck-Glessner on their bed. Prosecutors later pursued a more serious charge; Duncan pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter while armed and was sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison. During proceedings it was noted that Duncan had posted photos of himself with guns on social media, some appearing to have been taken in the apartment they shared.

Are there details about Payton’s last hours or the apartment that anyone in the Everett area can help clarify?
