On the night of December 8, 2023, two people were found dead near East Cleveland Avenue and North Cuba Street in Spokane. Police discovered 37-year-old Colton Russell inside a parked van and 23-year-old Kiara Morgan-Weiland in the street. A neighbor reported hearing several gunshots and seeing a woman fall while calling for help. The Spokane County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled both deaths homicides; an autopsy found Russell had been shot six times and Morgan-Weiland stabbed more than 50 times.

Investigators linked both victims to the disappearance of 49-year-old Jannell Martensen, who was last seen on November 19, 2023, with Russell and Morgan-Weiland and whose body was later found. On December 16, police arrested 25-year-old Brandon L. Kenny and charged him with two counts of first-degree murder. According to court documents, Kenny confessed, saying Russell had admitted accidentally killing Martensen and forced Kenny to help move the body; Kenny told detectives he then shot Russell with a 9mm handgun and stabbed Morgan-Weiland as she fled. A home surveillance camera captured the attacks.

Does anyone have information about Russell’s movements in Spokane in November and December 2023 or recall seeing activity near East Cleveland Avenue that night?
