Jared Eugene Scroggins was 23 when he was fatally shot while walking with a friend on East D Street in Yakima, Washington, on the evening of March 5, 2017, at about 10:30 p.m. The shooting has been described as a senseless, random act of violence; Jared’s death came one day before his son’s second birthday.

An enrolled member of the Chickasaw Nation, Jared was a father, son, and brother who loved riding dirt bikes and driving anything with four wheels. He enjoyed fishing and hunting with his father and treasured time with family; his greatest joy was his son, Gunnar. The Yakima Police Department continues to investigate, and no arrests have been announced. A monetary reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

Does anyone who was in the East D Street area that night or who knew Jared have information that could help bring his killers to justice?
