On December 1, 2022, 56-year-old home health nurse Douglas Brant was shot and killed during his first visit to a new patient in Spokane, Washington. He had been in the living room with the patient and her husband for about an hour discussing her care plan when the patient’s grandson, Mitchell Chandler, came from the kitchen, entered the room and shot Brant multiple times; after Brant fell, Chandler stood over him and shot him again. Brant’s colleagues described him as a kind, spiritual caregiver and a musician who sometimes played guitar for patients.

Chandler, 31 at the time, fled the scene and was located by law enforcement nearly a day later near the mobile home park where the shooting occurred. He was arrested and charged with murder; court documents say he had a history of mental health problems and prior assaults and threats. Who knew Douglas or his patients and can offer information about his rounds or that mobile home park community?
