In the early morning of December 26, 2024, responders found 28-year-old Darcy Taylor Spracklin unresponsive on the 800 block of Northeast California Street in Pullman, Washington. He was taken to Pullman Regional Hospital but died of multiple gunshot wounds, the Whitman County Coroner’s Office confirmed. What began as a shooting investigation was later classified as a homicide.

Police described the incident as isolated and said there was no known threat to the wider community. Investigators asked neighbors to review home surveillance footage for possible leads while working to reconstruct the events that led to Spracklin’s death.

The investigation continued into the new year and led to the arrest of 30-year-old Jorge Rigo Amezcua in connection with the shooting; a search warrant was executed at a private residence and Amezcua was booked into the Whitman County Jail on second-degree murder and controlled substance possession charges. The inquiry remains ongoing as authorities seek a full account of what happened.

Did anyone in the Pullman area see or record anything that night that could help clarify the timeline or motive?
