On January 24, 2024, at about 3 a.m., 53-year-old Willie Anderson was shot and killed inside a South Hill residence in Spokane, Washington. The Spokane County Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death a homicide and the cause as a gunshot wound to the torso.

Court documents say 22-year-old Cody Low discovered Anderson sleeping in his mother’s closet after hearing two men outside the apartment allegedly attempting to break in with power tools. Low reported the outside activity to police, then armed himself. He later confronted Anderson in his mother’s room; an argument about Anderson leaving the apartment followed. Low told investigators Anderson "threw up his hands really quick," and that he closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.

Police found Anderson with a gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene despite life-saving efforts. Low cooperated with authorities, called 911 to report the shooting, and was arrested and booked on January 24, 2024, on a charge of second-degree murder. Low’s mother had reportedly allowed Anderson to stay one night as they were attempting to get back together.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who heard or saw anything around 3 a.m. that could clarify what happened?
