A deadly shooting in the Puyallup area on November 3, 2024, left 23-year-old Daetron Franco of Tacoma dead. Deputies were first called shortly before 1 a.m. to a car that had gone into a ditch near the 6600 block of 152nd Street East and found a man inside with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital with serious injuries. Shortly afterward, three other young adults, including Franco, arrived at the same hospital with gunshot wounds; Franco later died of a gunshot wound to the torso, and the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a homicide.

Investigators believe the shooting was connected to a nearby party on 58th Avenue East, though detectives say the shooting did not occur at the party itself. A second potential shooting scene was identified at 58th Avenue East and 152nd Street. No arrests or suspect description have been released. Authorities have asked residents near the potential scenes to check security camera footage for suspicious vehicles or activity between midnight and 12:50 a.m. and to submit any relevant information to the sheriff’s evidence portal.

If anyone was at the party or nearby that night and saw anything or has footage from around midnight to 12:50 a.m., can you share what you know with investigators?
