Janell Renee Knight, 43, was shot and killed at her rural home southeast of Woodland, Washington on the evening of July 15, 2016. Described as whimsical and devoted, she shared the residence with Joseph Mark Lamar, 38, who was found shot along the gravel driveway. Zachary David Thompson, 36, was also found shot in the driveway and later died. Breanne Leigh was shot in the face but escaped, drove to a convenience store for help, and at the hospital identified Brent W. Luyster as the shooter.

Brent W. Luyster arrived at the home that evening with Thompson and Leigh; his girlfriend Andrea D. Sibley arrived later. A manhunt led to Luyster’s capture the next afternoon at a makeshift campsite in Cowlitz County. He was described in reports as having a long, violent criminal history and numerous white supremacist tattoos. He was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder; Andrea Sibley was charged with rendering criminal assistance.

If anyone knew Janell, lived in that area, or has information about the events that night, please share what can help the investigation.
