A domestic dispute in north Spokane on the night of March 1, 2018, ended with 33-year-old Michael L. Shackelford shot multiple times outside an apartment on East Wedgewood Avenue. Shackelford had gone to the apartment to see his young child. A friend, Keman Rhone, dropped him off and later found him on the ground after hearing gunshots; Shackelford was shot twice in the chest and later died at a hospital. Present at the apartment were his ex-girlfriend Guadalupe Cloud and her then-boyfriend, 42-year-old Dumont P. Whitt.

Authorities focused on Whitt as the shooter. Whitt told investigators he had opened the apartment door and shot Shackelford, saying he had armed himself with an illegally obtained Glock 40 because of prior threats and other circumstances. A juvenile witness later told police Whitt gave the gun to her in a sock and told her to hide it; the weapon was recovered from a dumpster. Whitt was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; bail was set at $750,000.

Shackelford left behind two children. Does anyone have information about Michael’s movements that night or about witnesses who were at the apartment?
