David K. Chester, a 48-year-old White man and a disabled Navy veteran of the Persian Gulf War, was shot to death at his home in Spokane’s West Central neighborhood on the afternoon of September 15, 2017. Chester lived in a house split into two apartments at 2407 W. Dean Ave. A dispute began when Chester said he no longer wanted a man who had been staying in the adjoining unit to live there. As that man tried to collect his belongings and his dog, an argument escalated; Chester reportedly used bear spray at his front door.

A 21-year-old, Brettly E. Sanderson, who was with the man being evicted, reportedly entered through a back door. Witnesses said the man went upstairs to get his possessions and then gunshots were heard; the man turned and saw Sanderson holding a gun. Police found Chester dead of a gunshot wound and arrested Sanderson within an hour, booking him on suspicion of first-degree murder and holding him on $750,000 bond. Sanderson denied involvement and was described by authorities as behaving erratically with statements that were difficult to comprehend.
