On a Saturday afternoon in Tacoma on November 7, 2015, 19-year-old Philip Ryan Jr. was standing with a small group at a bus stop in the 1000 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Way when a car pulled up nearby. Several people exited the vehicle and crossed the street; witnesses said a 15-year-old called Ryan’s name, accused him of a serious crime against a family member, then drew a handgun and fired multiple shots. Ryan was hit, collapsed in the street, and later died at St. Joseph’s Hospital from gunshot wounds to his upper back.

Investigators quickly traced a partial license plate to the family of Jasiah Inpeace Tolbert, who was 16 at the time and later identified as the driver. Authorities identified four youths involved; the shooter, Domunick Marcus Smiley, 15 at the time, fled the state and was captured in California. All four were charged in connection with Ryan’s death. Smiley was prosecuted as an adult and pleaded guilty to second-degree murder; Tolbert, 19-year-old Arkeats Lintel Ross and 17-year-old Isiah L. Cavitt pleaded guilty to first-degree rendering criminal assistance and received prison terms.

Does anyone have information about Philip’s final hours at that bus stop or recall seeing the vehicle that stopped there that afternoon?
