Armando Jimenez Cruz, 36, was found dead in the driver’s seat of his car the evening of November 23, 2022, after the vehicle crashed near Old Prosser Road and Mountainview Road just south of Grandview. The scene first appeared to be a fatal traffic collision, but investigators later determined Jimenez Cruz had been shot before the car struck a pole.

The Yakima County Sheriff’s Office is treating the death as a homicide and has appealed to the public for help, asking anyone who saw anything unusual in the area that evening or who has information about the shooting to come forward. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified.

Does anyone have information about movements in the Old Prosser Road and Mountainview Road area on the night of November 23, 2022?
