Denali Anderson, 20, of Pasco, Washington, was shot and killed on August 6, 2022, at a neighborhood party on the 6000 block of Pimlico Drive just after 11 p.m. Police found Anderson dead at the scene and another 18-year-old, Caidan Gawith, with gunshot wounds to the chest and lower abdomen; Gawith was taken to a local hospital.

Court documents say a heated argument preceded the shooting. Three 18-year-old suspects—Angel Garcia, Brian Panduro-Valenzuela, and Osman Morales-Salto—allegedly approached in a white Nissan Altima; witnesses reported Garcia exited the car and began firing, and Anderson fired back as the vehicle left. The three were arrested and charged with second-degree murder and first-degree assault, pleaded not guilty, and had bail set at $250,000 each with a trial date previously set for October 5, 2022. Jaelin Fields later pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a gun and received three months in jail after related murder and assault charges were dropped, a plea that Anderson’s family contested at sentencing.

Anyone who attended the party or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
