Miguel Angel Lara Guizar, 19, was shot at Hund Memorial Park in Mattawa, Washington, on the evening of August 17, 2025. First responders were called around 8 p.m.; witnesses described a drive-by shooting while he was playing basketball with others. He was taken to a regional hospital outside the area and died the following day, with funeral notices later confirming his death.

Investigators from the Mattawa Police Department, the Moses Lake Police Department Major Crimes Unit, and the Grant County Sheriff’s Office appealed for tips, canvassed the neighborhood, and reviewed evidence from the park. Early reports named Miguel publicly and said no suspects had been identified. Local outlets and a gun incident database recorded the shooting and the circumstances at the park.

On September 4 police announced arrests in connection with the killing: two 16-year-old boys from the Mattawa area were taken into custody and booked into the Chelan County Juvenile Detention Center; authorities did not release their names and said no further details would be provided. The case remains open and under investigation.
