Eduardo Villagomez, 21, was killed in Spokane in the early hours of January 18, 2016. A student at Eastern Washington University studying to become a physical therapist and expected to be the first in his family to graduate, he was shot outside the Palomino Club after an altercation that began inside during a Martin Luther King Jr. event spilled into the parking lot. Surveillance footage showed Villagomez struck by gunfire and then run over by a car fleeing the scene as a gun battle erupted between two groups of men; he later died of his injuries.

Three men were arrested in connection with the incident: LaShawn D. Jameison, 21; Kwame D. Bates, 26; and Anthony G. Williams, 22. Bates reportedly went to police and admitted firing his weapon, saying it was in self-defense. Williams was said to have initiated the gunfight. All three faced charges tied to Villagomez’s death, and his mother filed a wrongful death lawsuit against them.

If anyone was at the Palomino Club that night or has information about the sequence of events in the parking lot, contact investigators.
