Thirteen-year-old Gavin Goose Looper was killed on January 25, 2025, in Spokane, Washington. Gavin, a student at Peperzak Middle School, was inside a home playing a video game when he was struck by a bullet in what authorities described as a drive-by shooting. He was taken to a local hospital and died of a gunshot wound to the head; the Spokane County Medical Examiner’s office ruled his death a homicide.

Gavin, known to family and friends as Goose, was remembered as energetic, funny, and loving — a boy who enjoyed playing with his brother and friends. Investigators identified 25-year-old Glen Dylan Burkey as the person they believe was responsible, and he was located in Missoula, Montana, and taken into custody pending extradition to Spokane. Police said they do not believe the shooting was random.
