A 38-year-old man arrested over the weekend in Western Washington has been linked to the shooting and killing of 40-year-old Deshaun Crawford nearly a year ago in Spokane Valley.
Puyallup police arrested Darell Harris on a warrant for suspected second-degree murder Saturday, according to the Pierce County Corrections Booking website.
Spokane County Superior Court Judge Timothy Fennessy issued a warrant for Harris’ arrest, according to court documents filed Dec. 22.
Deputies responded Feb. 8 to a manufactured home at 4306 E. Second Ave. for a reported shooting, according to court documents.
There, they found Crawford dead inside the home.
Witnesses told police they observed Harris with a gun and heard several gunshots ring out inside the home.
Harris and two others then left the scene in a blue Ford Expedition and arrived at a Spokane apartment.
Harris purchased new clothes from an occupant at the apartment, potentially because Harris had evidence like blood or gunshot residue on his clothing, police said in documents.
