Thanks for giving the ID a try! I just realized that I have no idea whether D. crocata can climb walls. I think this is a Broad-faced Sac Spider, Trachelas tranquillus. They are quite agile and have similar reddish coloring. They hunt prey on-foot instead of with a web. I suspect that yours was hunting other spiders. https://spiderid.com/spider/trachelidae/trachelas/tranquillus/
