Jerid K. Sprague, 29, was killed in the early hours of December 24, 2023, in a Renton, Washington parking lot on Oakesdale Avenue Southwest. What began as a reported holiday gift exchange between Sprague and his intimate partner, Bridgette Corrine Cook, turned violent inside a vehicle around 3:15 a.m. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Cook punching Sprague in the head from the backseat while a third male passenger was present. During the struggle a gun appeared in Cook’s hand and the video reportedly shows the weapon aimed at Sprague’s head before a single shot shattered the driver’s side window and struck him fatally.

After the shooting, Cook and the other passenger are seen removing Sprague from the driver’s seat and leaving him in the parking lot; they then attempted to flee but were stopped by responding officers and initially released. Detectives later developed additional evidence implicating Cook. She was arrested January 12, 2024, charged with second-degree murder in a domestic violence case and is being held in King County Jail on $1 million bail pending trial. Did anyone see or hear anything at that Renton parking lot that night that could help clarify what happened?
