Redmond Couple, Suspected Stalker Killed In Home Invasion: Police

REDMOND, WA —Three people are dead during a Redmond home invasion early Friday morning, in which a stalking suspect shot a husband and wife and turned the gun on himself, according to police.

Officers rushed to the home along Northeast 89th Street around 1:45 a.m. after 911 callers reported gunshots. At the scene, police found the husband lying on the floor inside the house and pulled him outside, where they discovered he had been shot. Officers attempted CPR while waiting for medics but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Inside the home, officers said they found a man and woman dead from gunshot wounds. Police on Friday identified the man as Ramin Khodakaramrezaei, 38, who they believe was stalking the female victim.

Investigators learned Khodakaramrezaei was a fan of the woman's podcasts and had communicated with her in the past. At first, the two were friendly, but police said "things escalated," and the woman had filed a no-contact order against him for stalking.

"Our hearts go out to the victim's family and the Redmond community following this horrific tragedy," said Redmond Police Chief Darrell Lowe. "This is an incredibly sad situation and the worst possible outcome of a stalking case. We will continue investigating what led to this tragic loss."
