On the evening of April 15, 2019, 38-year-old Jered Sperling was managing the Kent East Hill Storage facility with his wife when his 2013 GMC Denali pickup was taken while running in front of the facility’s gate. Two men walking by entered the scene; one, identified as 23-year-old Gurkeerat Kainth, jumped into the driver’s seat and sped off. Sperling grabbed the side of the truck bed and pulled himself into the bed as the truck fled. Kainth, who investigators say was high on narcotics, allegedly found a gun in the center console and fired, fatally wounding Sperling.

Sperling’s body was found the following morning in the back of his pickup at the Cascade Apartments, about two and a half miles from the storage facility. Police released surveillance images and, after public tips and video evidence, located and arrested Gurkeerat Kainth on April 17 at an apartment complex. Investigators determined a second man, Troy Vasquez, was a witness rather than a suspect. Prosecutors charged Kainth with murder and with unlawful possession of a firearm and theft of a motor vehicle; bail was set at $2 million.

Does anyone have information about Sperling’s last hours at the storage facility or the movements of the truck that evening?
