A 44-year-old boxing coach named Dylan Bundy-Gray was shot and killed in Spokane, Washington, while attempting to protect a woman from harassment by two teenage boys. Court documents allege that one of the teens, 16-year-old Onyx Deligt, shot and killed Bundy-Gray and accidentally shot his own friend in the hand during the confrontation.

Why it matters

This tragic incident highlights the risks that can arise when bystanders intervene to defend others, as well as the ongoing challenges of youth violence and gun crime in some communities. Bundy-Gray's death has devastated his family and left his wife as the sole parent to their four young sons.

The details

According to investigators, the incident occurred on Sunday morning outside Bundy-Gray's home on Wellesley Avenue. A woman was walking down the street when two teenage boys, including Deligt, whistled at her. When the woman walked away, Bundy-Gray, who was sitting on his front porch, yelled at the teens. The two groups then got into an argument that turned physical, and Deligt allegedly shot five or six times, hitting Bundy-Gray and accidentally shooting his own friend in the hand.

  • The shooting happened around 7 a.m. on Sunday, March 27, 2026.
  • Deligt's arraignment is scheduled for March 31, 2026.
