On the evening of March 8, 2026, in Pasco, Washington, 38-year-old Danny Garett Engstrom was fatally shot at about 10:30 p.m. at a gas station on 4th Avenue. Police found Engstrom near the pumps with multiple gunshot wounds to his chest; he was pronounced dead at the scene by the Franklin County Coroner’s Office.

Engstrom, a father and a YouTube streamer known as Danny Stranger, had been livestreaming for several hours that day and left his stream running when he went to the gas station to buy snacks. Viewers heard gunfire on the broadcast and later sirens; some listeners pieced together events by monitoring police scanners. Three men who were at the station later said they acted in self-defense, alleging Engstrom drew a gun, but investigators have not confirmed that account and no arrests have been made. The investigation is active.

Family members described Engstrom as having a big heart, struggling with his mental health and a quick temper. His niece said he disliked guns and was not legally permitted to own one, while another person said Engstrom had harassed them and seemed dangerous. If anyone was at the gas station that night or saw Engstrom in the hours beforehand, can you share what you observed?
