Robert Crall was 54 when he was killed during a fare in Tacoma, Washington, in the pre-dawn hours of March 15, 2018. Known to friends and family as Big Dave, Crall had been driving a taxi for two years. A 19-year-old passenger, later identified as Eddie Lamont Hogan, pulled a bandana over his face in an attempted robbery and then shot Crall in the chest. Crall was found on the sidewalk outside his cab and was pronounced dead at the scene; a nearby resident held his hand in his final moments.

Detectives used a taxi security-camera photo to identify a suspect and Hogan was arrested the next day in the same neighborhood. Investigators linked the killing to a violent crime spree in the surrounding 30-hour period that included armed robberies and a pistol-whipping. Hogan was charged with first-degree murder, robbery, and multiple other felonies. Family described Crall as incredibly friendly, generous, and funny.

Did anyone in Tacoma know Robert Crall or have information about the events around South Montgomery Street that morning?
