Jake Colvin, 25, of Valley, Washington, was found dead of a gunshot wound on Sunday, July 26, 2015, in the passenger seat of a white Chevy Suburban parked outside St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula, Montana. The vehicle was facing the wrong way, its lights on and keys in the ignition. Missoula police arrested 34-year-old Leo A. Rodriguez of Spokane inside a hospital restroom nearby; Rodriguez had dilated pupils, water splashed around the sink, and a 380 Hi-Point handgun was found concealed beneath a garbage bag in that restroom. Rodriguez was booked on suspicion of tampering with evidence and held on bond for an outstanding California warrant.

Rodriguez told investigators that Colvin had been shot in Spokane before the body was driven to Missoula, and the Spokane Police Department joined the investigation to determine time, place and motive, including whether drugs played a role. It remained unclear whether Rodriguez was the shooter. Colvin had been scheduled to appear in Spokane County Superior Court on a residential burglary charge and had no Washington felony convictions; Rodriguez had multiple prior felony convictions and arrests.

Did anyone in Spokane or Missoula recognize Colvin or the Chevy Suburban, or have information about where he may have been shot?
