Jesus Alexandro Contreras-Chacon, a 20-year-old from Yakima, Washington, was killed on June 10, 2023, after a gunman opened fire into a crowded garage during a graduation party in Benton City. He was one of six people shot that night; he was taken to a hospital and later died of his wounds. A visitation for Jesus was held on June 23, 2023, in Yakima.

Investigators reported progress in the months after the shooting. On November 1, 2023, two people were arrested in connection with the attack; authorities said the suspects were believed to be gang members who had targeted the party. On November 16, 2023, 20-year-old Elijah Mykale Cruz of Kennewick was charged with First Degree Murder and pleaded not guilty at arraignment; he was already in custody on unrelated charges at that time.

Who in the community might have been at that graduation party or seen anything that night?
