In the early morning hours of March 28, 2015, 2-year-old Kaden Lum was shot and killed in a mobile home in a Bremerton, Washington park. The gunman opened fire just after 2:00 a.m. Kaden’s mother was with him and tried to shield him; Kaden was mortally wounded and died at a local hospital from a gunshot to the head. The child’s mother, Heather Kelso, was also killed in the attack. A visiting man was shot and wounded but escaped to a neighbor’s home to call for help.

Investigators focused on 30-year-old Geraldo Jerry Castro DeJesus, an ex-boyfriend of Kelso, after learning Kelso had a protection order against him. DeJesus was arrested on August 20, 2015. Prosecutors said evidence tied a gun in DeJesus’ possession to 11 9mm shell casings found at the scene and pointed to bloody shoe prints; defense attorneys said investigators had focused on him too quickly and he maintained he was asleep at the time. In September 2016 a jury convicted DeJesus of two counts of premeditated murder and related counts; sentencing came in December 2016.

Did anyone in Bremerton at the time see or hear anything the night of March 28, 2015 that could add detail to what happened?
