Daniel Earl Cason was 30 when he was found dead at his Walla Walla home in late August 2017. Initial reports dated August 29 said officers responding to the 500 block of East Cherry Street discovered Cason deceased after what was described as a possible domestic dispute. Police indicated they were not seeking other witnesses, suggesting the incident occurred inside the residence.

Investigators focused on Cason’s live-in girlfriend, Shyla Ann Osborne, who was later accused of shooting him. Court documents describe escalating arguments between the couple in the days before the fatal confrontation; on the day of his death a struggle occurred and a pistol concealed in Osborne’s bra was produced. Cason was shot three times in the back-right side of his head. A temporary protection order against Cason had been filed in 2015 and was later dropped.
