Crime report

Perez was charged on Jan.13 with two counts of aggravated first-degree murder and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Police in Selah say a suspect wanted in connection with a homicide early Friday morning has been found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot.

Helland did plead guilty earlier this month to a misdemeanor charge of underage firearm possession. He's been released until sentencing on that charge on February 6.

Two passengers in his car were also taken into custody on unrelated felony warrants.

Access to homes and businesses in the project area will be maintained as best as possible.

The suspect faces two counts of assault, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and Drive By Shooting. He's being held in the Yakima County jail. The two victims are expected to recover from their injuries.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office at 509-575-2500 or Yakima County Crime Stoppers at 800-248-9980.

It's not known how the two people died and the autopsy may or may not give investigators answers they're looking for.

Opening statements in the trial were held Thursday morning. The trial is expected to last two weeks.

The Yakima County Sheriff's Office has released the identities of two people whose burned bodies were found Tuesday on a hop farm near Moxee.
