On June 10, 2021, at about 6:25 pm in the 1200 block of Cornell Avenue in Yakima, Oscar Ricardo Hondal-Lopez, 30, was killed while sitting in a black Chevrolet Impala. He and a 26-year-old woman had been looking at a house when a white, four-door sedan carrying four people pursued them. As the white sedan passed, at least 11 rounds were fired into the Impala. Hondal-Lopez was struck in the neck and died at the scene despite first aid from officers and paramedics. His companion was wounded in the hip, treated at Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital, and later released. After the shooting the Impala crashed into a fence and a parked car.

Detectives from the Yakima Police Department Major Crimes and Gang Units treated the attack as a case of mistaken identity, believing the occupants of the white sedan were gang members who wrongly thought the pair belonged to a rival gang. A 19-year-old man was arrested on a charge of rendering criminal assistance after allegedly hiding the suspect vehicle; police identified the main suspects and said more arrests were expected. Residential security camera footage captured the shooting.

Did anyone in the Yakima area see the white sedan or the Impala that evening, or have additional information about the occupants of the white sedan?
