Two people found dead Thursday night at a Hazel Dell apartment were wanted by police in Eugene, Ore., and died from what appeared to be self-inflicted gunshot wounds, according to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
The deceased were identified as Jacob “Jay” Timothy Richter-Shea, 23, and Cody Duk-Woo Moore, 19.
Sheriff’s detectives received information that the two men were wanted for violent, felony crimes by the Eugene Police Department and were thought to be staying at Vancouver’s Bridge Creek Apartments, 9211 N.E. 15th Ave., in a second-story unit, according to a sheriff’s office news release.
Both suspects were believed to be armed so the Southwest Washington Regional SWAT team responded. At least one suspect was seen about 6:30 p.m. at the back sliding glass door of the apartment, the sheriff’s office said.
A noise flash distraction device was deployed, and both suspects retreated back into the apartment. A short time later, officers heard two muffled pop sounds, the news release states.
