On the evening of September 24, 2025, in Spokane’s South Hill neighborhood, 37-year-old Terrance Wallette was shot and killed in a double homicide. The shooting occurred about 8:45 p.m. in the 4200 block of East 34th Avenue, near Chase Middle School. Wallette and 20-year-old Emilio Vazquez were found dead from multiple gunshot wounds; a third person suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital in critical condition. The Spokane County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled both Wallette and Vazquez homicides.

Spokane Police Major Crimes Unit investigators say they believe the people involved knew one another, though the exact relationships remain under investigation. The shooting happened at the home of a woman with whom Wallette had a dark history: in 2009, when she was a teenager, Wallette held her captive in his bedroom and was convicted of unlawful imprisonment. His record also included prior violent offenses against former girlfriends; he had been released from prison and from Eastern State Hospital in 2024 after being found not guilty by reason of insanity on other charges, and was reportedly complying with required check-ins at the time of his death. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified; police asked anyone with information or video to contact Crime Check.
