Jason Allison, 35, was fatally shot on April 28, 2019, near E. 5th Ave. and Fiske St. in Spokane’s East Central neighborhood. He was found in the front yard of a nearby home and later died at a hospital from multiple gunshot wounds. Court documents say Allison had been at a bowling alley in Post Falls earlier that evening, texting an unknown person and growing increasingly agitated; a friend who left the alley later could not reach him.

A nearby resident reported hearing gunshots and seeing two men in her backyard walking north on Fiske toward 5th Ave., and she said one of them appeared to reach behind his back as if for a gun. She did not witness the actual shooting. Detectives say Allison may also have been firing at someone before he was found, a detail that complicates the sequence of events. Spokane police are investigating the death as a homicide; no arrests have been announced and the relationship between the parties is under investigation.

Did anyone see or hear anything on the night of April 28 near E. 5th Ave. and Fiske St. that could help investigators?
