Joe Albert Fuller Jr., known as J.J., was 44 when he was shot dead on April 12, 2019, in Granger, Washington. Deputies found him in the driver’s seat of a car that had been driven into a ditch on Cherry Hill Road. Authorities described his death as the result of an attempted drug deal that went wrong.

Born June 9, 1974, in Sunnyside, J.J. was remembered for his longtime love of baseball and installing car stereos, and as a devoted father to three children. The Yakima County Sheriff’s Office said the shooting was an isolated drug-related incident and that there was no ongoing danger to the public.

Investigators identified three men connected to the killing. Marcos Herrera was arrested in Snohomish County and Hector Salvador Garcia Ceja was taken into custody earlier after a high-speed chase near Everett; a third suspect, Jaime Herrera, remained at large in the reports. Anyone with information about the case or the whereabouts of Jaime Herrera is asked to come forward.
