On June 22, 2016, Gerald M. Berkey, 36, of Elma, was found shot to death inside a travel trailer in Lacey, Washington. Berkey was one of three people killed that day; Jackson L. Edens, 28, and Terron R. McGrath, 31, also died from gunshot wounds. A fourth person was shot and survived.

Deputies recovered a large quantity of methamphetamine and heroin, thousands of dollars in cash, and numerous firearms at the scene. Investigators tied the violence to drug dealing and believe the encounter began as a robbery. Court documents say Enrique Lamere admitted being present and identified Dugan Lawton as the shooter; Lamere later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and agreed to testify against Lawton. Lamere received a 19-year prison sentence as part of his plea.

Does anyone have information about Berkey, his movements that summer, or the people he associated with in Thurston County?
