PIERCE COUNTY, Wash. — Investigators with the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department have widened the search area where they believe a suspect’s car might have traveled after a fatal shooting.

That shooting occurred at about 11:20 p.m. on Jan. 22 at an apartment complex in Midland, just off Golden Given Road East.

Gage Hallstead, 27, was fatally shot, and his 23-year-old brother Bailey Hallstead and a cousin were hurt.

On that night, Bailey had returned home just before 11:30 p.m. and told his mother he had been shot.

Now detectives are working to figure out who is responsible for the shooting.

They are asking anyone who lives in the area –– from McKinley Avenue east to L Street, and from East 38th Street to East 61st Street –– to check to see if they have any video of a white car, which was followed by a truck between 11 and 11:30 p.m., to give the sheriff’s office a call.
