Spokane Police Detectives in the Safe Streets Task Force are partnering with Crime Stoppers of the Inland Northwest to ask for the public’s help solving a set of drive-by shootings at the same location. All three shootings have been directed at a house in the 1900 block of east Central. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit the tip via the Internet website www.crimestoppersinlandnorthwest.org.

In November and December of this year, the Spokane Police Department responded to three separate drive-by shootings in the 1900 block of east Central in northeast Spokane. The shootings occurred in the early morning hours and detectives have few leads. The residence has had gang ties in the past but is currently occupied by a retiree and his family, to include several young children. Police are asking for your help in identifying a suspect or suspect vehicle.

Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward to anyone providing information leading to an arrest in this incident. Persons with information should call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 1-800-222-TIPS, or should submit the tip via the Internet website www.crimestoppersinlandnorthwest.org. Tipsters do not have to give their name to collect the cash reward.
