On the night of November 1, 2014, two brothers were killed at Broadway Square Apartments in Spokane Valley, Washington. Juan De Rios Rodriguez-Gallegos, 44, and his brother Arturo M. Gallegos, 53, were fatally shot around 9:30 p.m. Neighbors reported the suspect was at large in the immediate aftermath.

Investigators focused on a family member, 32-year-old nephew Christopher B. Ramirez. A diary entry by Arturo described an earlier confrontation in which Ramirez allegedly threatened him with a knife after accusing him of involvement with Ramirez’s girlfriend. Several relatives received a threatening text from Ramirez’s phone that included a picture of the brothers. Cellphone tower records placed Ramirez’s phone at the apartment complex that night, and witnesses and physical evidence tied him to the shootings; Arturo was shot inside, and Juan was shot at the bedroom door, fled outside, and was pursued and shot multiple times.

Christopher Ramirez was arrested the next day and charged with two counts of first-degree premeditated murder and unlawful possession of a firearm. Does anyone have information about Juan, Arturo, or the family that could shed more light on what led to that night?
