Ezekiel Sanchez, a 25-year-old Hispanic man, was killed on April 20, 2022, in Kennewick during what police described as a gang-related shootout. He was a passenger in a Kia Sorento that was fired upon at First Avenue and Dayton Street; Sanchez sustained a fatal gunshot wound to the head. The driver, identified as Alexis Talavera-Gonzalez, took Sanchez to a freestanding Kadlec emergency room where he was pronounced dead. The abandoned Kia was later found in the ER parking lot with blood inside and bullet holes in the hood.

Investigation quickly moved from a death investigation to a homicide inquiry. Detectives traced a second vehicle, a Chrysler Pacifica, as the other car involved. Ramon Candido, 26, and Beatriz Terrazas, 23, were identified and arrested on April 25, 2022; Candido was booked on suspicion of second-degree murder and Terrazas on a charge of first-degree rendering criminal assistance. Police allege Candido fired the fatal shot from the Pacifica while Terrazas was driving; a young child was reportedly in the Pacifica at the time.
