Detectives with the Special Investigations Unit collaborate with Pullman and Seattle PD to help locate shooting suspect after Apple Cup incident leaves one man injured

This past weekend, Pullman hosted the annual Apple Cup football game.  Around 2am the following morning, Sept. 21, 2025, a shooting occurred in Pullman that injured a WSU football player.  As law enforcement in the area worked to locate the suspect, detectives with the SPD Special Investigations Unit (SIU) contacted Pullman PD to offer assistance. 

SIU Detectives along with SPD patrol officers assisted in the search and through various investigative techniques, were able to obtain a location for the suspect after he returned to the Seattle area. 

SIU then contacted the Seattle Police Department to advise them of the information obtained and with that, law enforcement in the Seattle area located the shooting suspect and took him into custody.  This collaboration amongst law enforcement in the region resulted in the fast apprehension of a shooting suspect.
