Louisa Campos, 31, was shot to death on the evening of August 12, 2016, at a transient camp in the 22200 block of 88th Avenue South in Kent, Washington. The next day a fellow resident, 48-year-old Robert Dias, was also found shot to death; investigators determined Dias had witnessed Campos’s murder and that the same .45-caliber weapon was used in both killings.

The case remained unsolved for about a year while detectives interviewed dozens of witnesses. On the one-year anniversary of Campos’s death, police received an out-of-state tip that a man named Bradley T. Shaw, 30, of Covington, had confessed to a former military friend and provided nonpublic details about the crimes. Police then located and arrested Shaw without incident. Reports say the killings followed a trivial altercation at a gas station: an intoxicated Shaw allegedly cut in line, was confronted (believed to be by Campos), followed her back to the camp, shot her the next evening after another confrontation, and returned the following day to kill Dias, who was reportedly holding a baseball bat.

Does anyone have additional information about Louisa’s life in Kent or contacts who knew her at the encampment?
