gang shooting

Gang and Major Crime Units are searching for two people they believe are responsible for Monday night’s 8th homicide in the city so far this year

The shooting cancelled the weekend long event on Friday.

The youngest victim is 7-years-old. No information on the condition of the victims is available.

A 14-year-old boy was injured and treated at Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital after the shooting reported Thursday morning at the intersection of 13th Avenue and St. Helens Street.

Capt. Jay Seely says Major Crimes and Gang Unit Detectives have been busy this week searching for video of the suspect vehicle in Saturday's homicide.

Capt. Jay Seely says the teen turned himself into authorities Monday at the Yakima County Juvenile Justice Center.

Officers were called to the area of 3rd Avenue and Yakima Avenue at about 7:00PM where they found a victim.

Police say the two chased a car load of other gang members to the area and opened fire on them.

Capt. Jay Seely says it's no secret that the unit is overwhelmed with work.

When they arrived they found a 15-year-old girl, who is a local gang member shot in the chest area.
