Christian G. Salazar, 21, was shot and killed in Spokane in the early morning hours of February 3, 2020, after a dispute over a missing cell phone. The conflict began at a downtown bar called Crave, where a group that included Salazar and a separate group that included Christian J. Robinson met. After the women Salazar was with left the bar, Robinson and his friends discovered a cell phone was missing and used a tracking app that led them to a McDonald’s on North Market Street.

Just after 1:00 a.m., Robinson arrived at the McDonald’s and blocked the vehicle Salazar occupied. Robinson and another man approached the car; an argument followed and Robinson fired a single shot through the passenger side, striking Salazar in the head. A woman in the car called 911 at about 1:15 a.m.; police arrived minutes later and Salazar was pronounced dead at the scene. Robinson was detained nearby, arrested, and charged with second-degree murder. Later court proceedings included a mistrial in November 2021 and a conviction in May 2022.

Did anyone witness events at Crave or the McDonald’s that night who can add details about what led to the shooting?
