SHORELINE, Wash. — Crime Stoppers has offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person who shot and killed a 50-year-old woman in Shoreline.
The King County Medical Examiner's Office ruled the death of BillyJo Kaufman Perkins a homicide due to multiple gunshot wounds.
Deputies with the King County Sheriff's Office responded to the area of 22nd Avenue and NE 201st Place for a report of a person down at Ballinger Homes, a low-income housing complex, around 10 p.m. Saturday, May 18.
According to a preliminary report, deputies attempted lifesaving measures before Perkins was pronounced dead.
"Somebody knows who did this," said Jim Fuda, executive director of Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound. "A 50-year-old female out at night, I'm assuming unarmed, is a gun downed victim. It's not right."
Anyone with information can leave tips anonymously by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or online at the Crime Stoppers website.
"Even if you think it's nothing, it could be of use to detectives," Fuda said. "Check your cameras, your ring cameras."
A uniformed security officer on the property told KING 5 they've been asked to increase patrols on the property.
