Justin Ryan Krumbah, 38, was shot and killed while working as an Instacart shopper inside a Fred Meyer store in Richland, Washington, on February 7, 2022. He was selecting items in an aisle when a brief conversation with another man was followed by gunfire; Krumbah was shot multiple times and died at the scene. A store employee, Mark Hill, was also shot at the customer service desk and was critically injured.

Authorities identified and arrested 39-year-old Aaron C. Kelly later that day. Kelly was charged with first-degree murder in Krumbah’s death and attempted first-degree murder in the attack on Hill and was booked into Benton County jail on $1 million bail. Court filings and psychological evaluations mentioned that Kelly suffered from schizophrenia, and Krumbah’s family has expressed concern about the possibility of an insanity defense and commitment rather than prison, citing actions they view as showing the defendant understood his conduct.

Does anyone have information about Krumbah’s movements inside the store that afternoon or about witnesses who saw the interaction before the shooting?
