Tributes paid to 'loving family man' Brit who was 'shot multiple times' in the US as police launch manhunt for 'murderer'

A 26-year-old British man named Jamie Thomas Stephen Lomas was fatally shot during a domestic disturbance in Washington state, United States. The incident occurred on August 22, 2026, at a residence near Kent, and he died from multiple gunshot wounds. His family described him as a 'loving family man' and expressed deep grief over his tragic death. They have initiated a GoFundMe campaign to cover the costs of repatriating his body to the UK for burial, having already raised £7,200 toward a £10,000 goal. The King County Sheriff's Office confirmed the death was ruled a homicide, though no arrests have been made, and the case remains under active investigation. The UK Foreign Office has stated they are supporting the family and in contact with local authorities.
