Man avoided major jail time for ax attack against his brother. Then he murdered two people.

Zachary Holt left the Nez Perce Reservation in September 2022 and set off on a drug-fueled crime spree that took him and an accomplice across the reservation and further north into Idaho. 

Six weeks and 200 hundred miles later, Holt and his accomplice — a non-Native man named Dezmonique Tenzsley — ended their string of robberies, assaults, shootings and home invasions on eastern Washington's Colville Indian Reservation, according to the region's U.S. Attorney's Office .

There, Holt’s brother, Curry Pinkham, drove Holt and Tenzsley to a trailer where they donned masks, burst into a trailer and murdered two strangers: siblings Gale and Jeremy Neal, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office .

As Holt, Tenzsley and Pinkham fled the scene of that crime, Holt committed yet another crime.
