A domestic dispute in a Tacoma apartment in the summer of 2014 ended with the death of 28-year-old Renee Brooks. On July 3, a verbal argument between Renee and her 48-year-old husband, Darrin Brooks, escalated; he produced a gun and shot her multiple times in the head before leaving the apartment. Renee’s body was found on July 4 by a concerned friend; she was lying on a mattress in the bedroom and covered in blood. Investigators noted signs of a struggle, and neighbors reported hearing two or three pops on the morning of July 4 and seeing Darrin running from the apartment.

Patrol officers located Darrin on July 5 driving a stolen vehicle, a brief pursuit ended when the car jumped a curb, and he was taken into custody. He admitted to arguing with his wife, said he blacked out, and told detectives he couldn’t believe he had done it. Darrin Brooks was charged with second-degree murder, initially pleaded not guilty, later pleaded guilty, and received a 38-year prison sentence after the court heard he had been struggling with drug and alcohol abuse.

Does anyone have information about Renee’s last day or knew her routines that could add context to what happened on July 3?
