27th Tacoma Homicide of 2023: Monic Swan
Tacoma has a lot of bars. We’re a town full of people who like to have a good time by having drinks with friends. And that’s exactly what 34-year-old Monic Swan was doing at the Alley Cat bar on 6th Avenue as last call approached in the early morning hours of November 5, 2024.
Some people were getting loud over by the pool table. Monic was sitting on a nearby stool hanging out with friends. And then the shooting started. The shooter initially fired towards the man he was arguing with, but then began firing indiscriminately.
A 35-year-old man was killed, three others were injured, and Monic Swan was shot in the head. She died before first responders arrived. She is the 27th Tacoma homicide of 2023.
Her killer would turn himself in with his lawyer and refuse to talk to detectives or provide the murder weapon.
Monic worked in the medical field and is described by loved ones as a ‘free spirit’. She was the kind of person who energized a room just by being in it.
Monic seems to be someone who didn’t spend a lot of time online and for this reason I’m unable to find a lot of information about her. This is why the comment section is for friends and loved ones of the victim to share thoughts and memories of them.
