SPOKANE, Wash. — The family of a woman shot and killed in Browne’s Addition last weekend is demanding answers from prosecutors about why the shooter remains free without charges.
Shareya Raylena Rodriguez-Quarles was killed by her boyfriend Tucker Mosley, who told police she came at him with a knife. However, investigators never found a knife at the scene, according to court documents.
Rodriguez’s sister Anessa was one of the last people to speak with her before the shooting.
“I said ‘I love you sis’. She said, ‘I love you too, lock your door’ and that’s the last thing I heard from her,” Anessa Rodriguez said.
Police reports indicate there was no urgency from Mosley in getting Rodriguez to the hospital after she was shot. Security cameras captured audio of Mosley asking the wounded Rodriguez to open his car door herself.
“That doesn’t sound like self-defense. You love her, right? That’s your girl, right? For six years, right? You have a kid with her, and you’re telling her to do it all herself. It doesn’t make sense,” said Quincy Hofer, a friend of Rodriguez.
The family says Mosley has a history of domestic violence with Rodriguez and worries he might flee the state. Because prosecutors haven’t filed charges, Mosley was released pending the investigation.
The Spokane County Prosecutor’s Office says it cannot file charges until the police investigation is complete and continues to evaluate whether the shooting was self-defense.
