3rd Tacoma Homicide of 2022: Gage D. Hallstead
It was a cold Saturday night on January 22, 2022. Four people were sitting in two cars near 76th Street Court East and Golden Given Road East when another vehicle pulled up and fired six to ten gunshots into the vehicles. All four were hit. The vehicle carrying 27-year-old Gage D. Hallstead drove to the 3800 block of East I Street where Tacoma Police found Hallstead dead from multiple gunshot wounds becoming the third Tacoma homicide of 2022.
The other three shooting victims survived their injuries. One of them was Gage’s brother. Another was his cousin. It is not known why Gage and his companions were targeted and as of this writing this Tacoma homicide has not been solved.
It’s difficult to explain what it’s like when someone you know in their 20s is killed. It’s a decade where people figure out who they are and who they want to be. It’s a time of potential. And to have every potential of that person abruptly end is a tragedy beyond words.
His family has set up a GoFundMe to pay for burial and associated expenses. You can contribute here.
