CENTRAL KITSAP – Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office Detectives are still working to identify a suspect who shot and killed a 2-year-old boy and a 29-year-old woman at the Kariotis Mobile Home Park on March 28.

“We’re making progress, but nothing we can release publicly,” said KCSO Deputy Scott Wilson May 29.

He said detectives had no suspect yet and were waiting for evidence that would allow them to develop probable cause.

The detectives are waiting for crime lab results to come in, but a specific date for when such results might be available was not known.

“We’ve got guys out there working on it every day but right now we’re still kind of in limbo,” Wilson said.

Wilson said that should detectives have a suspect one of two things would happen: The first is that Wilson would be called in for a meeting and informed of the facts. He would then prepare a news release for the media. The other method would be if Wilson were told to prepare a news release and have it ready for release at the proper time.

All media would receive any such release at the same time, Wilson said, in the event KCSO had any updates on the homicides.

On March 28, Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a report of gunshots heard at the Kariotis Mobile home park, located at 3060 Northeast McWilliams Road in Central Kitsap, at 2:18 a.m.

Four people were inside the home when the shooter arrived: Jalisa Lum, her son, Kaden Lum, 2, Heather Kelso, 29, and a 22-year-old male.

Kaden Lum and Kelso were shot and killed by a gunman who entered the home.

The 22-year-old male was also shot, but survived.

Kelso was an employee of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and had resided at the Kariotis Mobile Home Park residence for three years.

Vigils for Kelso and Lum were hosted March 31 at Chico Alliance Church and at Island Lake Park near Poulsbo.

Kelso had been granted a protection order against the father of her young daughter. In the order, Kelso said she feared for her safety and the safety of her child due to the man’s temper and access to firearms.

Officers had investigated a man in Port Orchard for a possible connection to the shootings. Wilson said that man was “fully cooperative” with officers. Officers interviewed the man and released him.

A Port Orchard vehicle was also impounded and searched.

The lead investigator for this case is Det. Gerald Swayze. Anyone with tips on the homicides can contact him at 360-337-4479.
