Regina Annas, aged 33, tragically died on April 17, 2015, in Bonney Lake, Washington, in what was identified as a murder-suicide. The incident involved her husband, David Annas, aged 40. According to reports, David Annas shot Regina and a friend of hers who was present at the scene. The friend, who was caught in the crossfire, survived and was taken to St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma for treatment.
After shooting Regina and her friend, David Annas turned the gun on himself and committed suicide.
The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed the identities of the couple but did not immediately release the official findings regarding the cause and manner of death.

The investigation concluded that it was a murder-suicide, and no further arrests or suspects were involved.
