GSO investigators have identified the Moses Lake murder victim to be Tracy C. Fullbright, 29, of Soap Lake. His body was found Wednesday in a ditch north of Moses Lake. Fullbright, too, had been shot. ?

“Both cases are being handled diligently by Grant County Detectives,” Sheriff Tom Jones. “More information will be released when available.”
