On the night of Friday, February 16, 2024, in the 1500 block of East Edison Avenue in Sunnyside, Washington, a burst of gunfire killed two brothers sitting in a vehicle. Thirteen-year-old Isaak Hernandez and his 17-year-old brother Maurice Hernandez were waiting in the car after accompanying their mother to a nearby store when shots rang out at about 10:40 p.m. An autopsy confirmed both boys died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators say more than one shooter may have been involved. Motive has not been publicly confirmed; authorities have not ruled out links to drugs or gangs in the area. A 13-year-old male was taken into custody days later on suspicion of first-degree murder and accomplice to first-degree murder but was released when the prosecutor declined to file charges pending further information. The investigation remains active and police are seeking tips.

If anyone has information about that night or the people involved, can you contact the Sunnyside Police Department with what you know?
