Robert Dias, a 49-year-old Hispanic man, was found shot to death on August 13, 2016, in a transient camp in Kent, Washington. His killing was the second in a two-day spree at the same camp that began when 31-year-old Louisa Campos was shot the day before. Both victims were killed with the same .45-caliber handgun, and Dias had been a witness to Campos’s murder.

Investigators tied the violence to a dispute at a nearby gas station after Bradley T. Shaw, then 30 and from Covington, reportedly followed Campos back to the camp and shot her. The next day Shaw returned and shot Dias. A key tip arrived nearly a year later: a witness who had served in the military with Shaw said Shaw had confessed in a phone call, including nonpublic crime scene details. Investigators also linked internet searches and a handgun seized during a January 2017 DUI arrest to the case. Shaw was arrested in August 2017 and ultimately convicted by a King County jury in 2021.
