Upon arriving at the scene, officers were informed that an unknown male had pointed a handgun at several individuals in a parking lot before firing a shot into the front grill of an occupied vehicle.

Detectives from SPD's Major Crimes Unit (MCU), Violent Crimes Task Force (VCTF), and Special Investigations Unit (SIU) worked together to identify an address associated with the suspects in question. After obtaining a search warrant, MCU and VCTF surrounded the location and detained multiple individuals. The primary suspect in the shooting was taken into custody without any resistance.
During their investigation at the address on West Augusta Street, detectives discovered several firearms, ammunition, and shell casings. As a result, Joshua D. Cruz (35) was arrested and booked into Spokane County Jail on charges of Drive by Shooting, 1st Degree Assault, and 2nd Degree Malicious Mischief.
The swift action taken by SPD's officers and detectives has resulted in one arrest and potentially prevented further harm from being inflicted upon innocent bystanders. The department is urging anyone with additional information about this incident to come forward and assist with their ongoing investigation.
