Dad Helps Son Surrender After Killing He Helped Another Son Surrender In ‘95 Death

Ken Jarrad helped one of his boys surrender to police after a teenager was stabbed to death at a house party in 1995.

Last weekend, Jarrad did it again: This time for another son, who allegedly shot a 21-year-old in the head after a night of barhopping.

Calvin R. Jarrad, 27, is being held in the Spokane County Jail on charges of first-degree manslaughter. His bail is set at $100,000 and no arraignment date has been set.

Calvin Jarrad was taken into custody two hours after the 1 a.m. killing Dec. 10, when he and his father showed up in the jail lobby. They brought the gun that was allegedly used to shoot Bradley W. Colby.

Colby was a 10-year resident of Spokane who worked as a dry-wall taper for a construction business.

“I’m still in shock,” said Colby’s father, Martin. “He and I were just starting to do things together that we hadn’t done before, like go get a beer after work.”

The Jarrads declined comment.

Court documents say a group of men gathered at Bradley Colby’s home on North Monroe early Sunday morning after drinking at The Swinging Doors Tavern and another spot, on North Division.

Tensions rose when a glass door on an entertainment center was shattered during a wrestling match in the living room, according to the report.

Court documents say Colby went to a bedroom and came back with a Smith & Wesson semiautomatic handgun. Jarrad and Colby then left and spoke in private.

Minutes later, Jarrad, who was sitting on a couch, pointed the same pistol at Colby, court documents say.

A woman who lives at the home told police she saw Jarrad shoot Colby in the head and then run from the house.

Jarrad went to his parents’ North Side home, where his father encouraged him to turn himself in if the shooting was an accident, court documents say.

In an interview with detectives, Jarrad said, “I don’t remember where the gun came from. I don’t remember how it happened.”

Calvin Jarrad, police say, has 10 criminal convictions as an adult, including reckless endangerment and possession of stolen property.

Last weekend’s shooting wasn’t the first time Jarrad has been present as young men lost their lives.

Five years ago, Jarrad and his younger brother, Billy, attended a summer party in a rental home on East Wellesley.

The crowd grew to more than 60, court documents say. At some point in the evening, Calvin Jarrad began to fight with 19-year-old Michael Loyola. The brawl spread into the street.

After the fight appeared to be broken up, Loyola went to get into a car but was stabbed by Billy Jarrad with a kitchen knife.

He died at a nearby fire station.

Billy Jarrad, a graduate of Rogers High School, also stabbed a friend of Loyola’s, while the friend yelled: “I didn’t do anything. I didn’t do anything.”

A witness later told police that Billy Jarrad bragged about the stabbings.

Police Detective George Benevidez said Billy Jarrad, accompanied by his father, turned himself in to authorities three days later.

Billy Jarrad pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and second-degree assault in 1996 and was sentenced to 28 years in prison.

A Department of Corrections spokesman said Billy Jarrad’s earliest possible release date is 2019.

A third Jarrad brother, Adam, 22, also faces serious criminal charges.

He is accused of repeatedly stomping on a man’s head last summer outside of Moon’s Mongolian Grill downtown.

The victim suffered a fractured eye socket and cut on his head that required stitches after being kicked into a curb, court documents say.

Adam Jarrad had allegedly been urinating on the sidewalk. When the victim and two women walked by, one of the women said, “That’s attractive.” The comment prompted Jarrad to allegedly rush the man and kick him while he was on the ground, court documents report.

Jarrad has pleaded not guilty to the assault charge and awaits trial.
