On the evening of February 9, 2017, a request for a ride at a Taco Bell on North Pearl Street in Tacoma turned deadly for 32-year-old Manuel Olmos Jr., who was visiting from Utah. Olmos and a friend offered a group of young men $40 for a ride; the offer prompted a verbal dispute that a manager tried to end. The argument continued in the parking lot and, according to witnesses, someone in the other group taunted Olmos’s party with You want to get shot?. Moments later a gunshot rang out and Olmos was struck in the neck, dying at the scene.

Surveillance from the restaurant identified 19-year-old Demetrius Monta Jackson and his companions. Friends were located and questioned, and one admitted hiding the murder weapon. Jackson initially eluded police; a warrant was issued charging him with second-degree murder. In September 2017 Jackson pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was later sentenced. Olmos was a husband and father of three.

Did anyone who knew Olmos or was in that Taco Bell parking lot that night come forward with information?
