KITSAP COUNTY, Wash. — The Kitsap County Sheriff's Office is searching for two men who they say are suspects in a murder investigation, marking the fifth homicide in Kitsap County this year.
KSCO is searching for 29-year-old Caleb Sloan and 26-year-old Aksel Strom. Both suspects are considered to be armed and dangerous.
At around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, KCSO deputies were dispatched to the 3100 block of Lincoln Road Northeast after receiving a 911 call.
The suspects are accused of murdering 38-year-old Brandon Egeler who the KCSO said was living in a trailer on the back of the property. The Kitsap County Medical Examiner said he died from a single gunshot wound to the neck.
When deputies arrived, they found Egeler unresponsive. Deputies performed CPR until medics arrived, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives identified Sloan and Strom as the suspects. They believe the suspects and the victim knew each other.
Both suspects live in North Kitsap County and have been convicted of felonies in the past, including crimes of eluding police and assault.
Anyone with information about Strom and Sloan's locations is asked to call 911. People should not attempt to approach or interact with either of them. People can also send tips to kcsotips@kitsap.gov.com.
