In the early evening of November 8, 2024, a deadly shooting in the Safeway parking lot on Nob Hill Boulevard in Yakima, Washington, left 18-year-old Emmanuel Santos and 20-year-old Aaron Lamas dead. Security footage shows Santos and Lamas arriving in a vehicle, parking beside another car, then entering that adjacent vehicle where a struggle and gunfire began inside the car and continued into the parking lot.

Santos is seen exiting and exchanging gunfire with an occupant of the other car before being fatally shot. Lamas was reportedly assaulted by the two occupants as he tried to flee and was later transported to a hospital, where he died. Two men, 20-year-old Cesar Guzman and 21-year-old Hector Estrada, were arrested after sustaining non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and receiving treatment.

Guzman and Estrada told police Santos and Lamas tried to rob them during a casual meeting to smoke marijuana, but surveillance footage reportedly contradicts that account. Investigators say the shooting may have occurred during a drug deal; Guzman and Estrada are being held on Second Degree Murder charges while the Yakima Police Department continues its investigation.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or saw the vehicles in that parking lot on November 8, can you share what you remember?
