A domestic dispute in Yakima ended in deadly gunfire on May 24, 2024. Police were called to a Pleasant Avenue residence about 6:14 PM after reports of gunshots; 24-year-old Jordan Christopher Brock Sims was struck twice and, despite medical care, died the next day on May 25, 2024.

Eyewitnesses say the argument was with his 17-year-old cousin Diego Ramirez, who allegedly produced a handgun and shot Jordan. Ramirez fled the scene with his younger brother. A warrant charging Ramirez with second-degree murder was issued on May 31, 2024, and as of mid-October 2024 he remained at large. Jordan’s family remember him as a son, brother, and father to a young boy; his death has drawn attention to familial disputes and gun violence in Yakima.

If anyone saw activity near Pleasant Avenue on the evening of May 24, or has information about Ramirez’s whereabouts, please come forward.
