SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. — Spokane Valley detectives are searching for a man suspected of shooting another man during an armed robbery in the parking lot of a restaurant on Saturday night.
A caller reported at about 8:20 p.m. on Saturday night that two men were fighting in the parking lot of Black Angus in Spokane Valley, which ended with one man being shot and suffering life-threatening injuries, according to Spokane County Sheriff's Corporal Mark Gregory. The suspect then allegedly used the victim's vehicle to flee the scene, Gregory said.
A deputy responding to the scene saw a vehicle similar to the victim's traveling west on Mirabeau Parkway toward Pines Road, according to Gregory. When the deputy turned to approach the suspect vehicle, the driver accelerated and started driving at a high rate of speed, crossing into oncoming lanes while traveling east on Trent, Gregory said.
