Kevin West, a former battalion chief with the Camas-Washougal Fire Department, was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Friday, February 27, 2024, for the strangling death of his wife, Marcy West, in January 2024. A Clark County, Wash., jury found West, 52, guilty of first and second-degree murder. Prosecutors stated West was having an affair and planned to leave his wife, a hospital clerk, while his defense argued Marcy's death was due to a seizure. At the sentencing, West's 20-year-old daughter, Megan West, condemned her father's actions, highlighting his affair and neglect, while his son, Ted West, pleaded for leniency, describing him as empathetic and loving.
