Jose Rivera De La Cruz, 23, was fatally shot while leaving Valley Mall in Union Gap near Yakima, Washington, on August 22, 2021. Investigators say he was an unintended victim caught in crossfire during a dispute between rival gang members; 14 shell casings were recovered in the mall parking lot.

Authorities identified 26-year-old Jonathan Edgar Navarro of Toppenish as the primary suspect. A warrant was issued, and Navarro was taken into custody by the Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force on charges of murder and assault. Police also seized a black BMW 328 believed to have been used by the suspects.

A second person, Henry N. Zuniga-Soriano of Zillah, has been named as an accomplice and is the subject of a warrant for Rendering Criminal Assistance in the First Degree; authorities describe him as armed and dangerous and have asked for the public’s help locating him.
