Suspected getaway driver in 2022 Everett murder of Irah Sok arrested

A 24-year-old woman has been arrested as the getaway driver in the 2022 murder of Irah Sok during a violent home invasion in Everett. Sok, a professional photographer, was shot multiple times when she confronted intruders in her home, while her husband was zip-tied and their child witnessed the attack. Prosecutors linked the woman to the crime using GPS data from a rented vehicle and phone records indicating frequent communication with the two men already charged. She is being held on a $2 million bond, with her jury trial scheduled to begin next month in Snohomish County Superior Court. All three suspects face serious charges, including first-degree murder, robbery, and kidnapping.

The U. S. Department of Justice has indicated that this incident is part of a broader pattern of violent crimes targeting East Asian-American families across the Puget Sound. In previous home invasions, victims were often held at gunpoint and forced to withdraw money from ATMs. These alarming events underscore a significant concern for community safety and highlight the need for law enforcement vigilance.
