Late on April 19, 2019, a violent argument outside an apartment on North Beech Street in Toppenish, Washington, ended the life of 50-year-old Daniel Campos. Reports say the dispute among four men escalated around 10:30 p.m., and one person drew a pistol and shot Campos multiple times. Police described the shooting as gang-related, while family members maintained Daniel was not involved in gang activity.

Three people who fled the scene in a vehicle were identified by witnesses and arrested: 20-year-old Trejuan Nason, 18-year-old Daniel Franco-Zacarias, and a 17-year-old whose name was not released. All three were charged with second-degree murder, and the getaway car was recovered. The Yakima County District Attorney later dropped those charges, citing insufficient evidence, and the investigation remained open as police sought additional leads and suspects.

Daniel’s family remembered him as a kind, generous man who loved cooking and helping others and have continued to press for justice. If anyone has information about that night or the people involved, please come forward.
