Tacoma Police detectives need your help to identify the suspect responsible for the murders of Jeffrey Singletary and Charles Wade. At 3:50 a.M. On Thursday May 26th, 2005, Tacoma Police responded to a 911 call reporting numerous gunshots being fired in the 1500 block of S. M St. In the Hilltop area of Tacoma. Arriving officers found victims Jeffrey Singletary and Charles Wade lying on the sidewalk suffering from several gunshot wounds. Singletary was found deceased, and Wade died several hours later as a result of his wounds.
