A 32-year-old man was fatally shot in the neck while riding as a passenger in a vehicle in Yakima early Monday morning. The incident took place in the area of 18th Street and East Nob Hill Blvd, but it is unclear if it was a drive-by shooting. Police were alerted to the shooting around 2:00 am when the victim arrived at Multicare Yakima Memorial Hospital for treatment. Sadly, he succumbed to his injuries and passed away at the hospital.

Authorities have not released any further details about the shooting and are now searching for a suspect or suspects. Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact Detective Jeff Elyat or send an email to the provided address.

This shooting marks the second homicide in Yakima County in the past week. Last Wednesday, Yakima County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a report of a possible shooting in Naches. When they arrived at the scene, they discovered a 75-year-old man deceased from a gunshot wound to the chest. The victim has been identified as Chan Razey, and his 47-year-old son, Randy Razey, was arrested and is now facing a charge of 2nd-degree murder.

These incidents are a cause for concern in the community, as they highlight the need for increased efforts to address and prevent gun violence. The authorities are working diligently to gather information and bring those responsible to justice.

As investigations continue into these tragic events, it is important for community members to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. The safety and well-being of everyone in Yakima County are paramount, and it is crucial for the community to come together to support law enforcement efforts and ensure justice for the victims..
