Napoleon Prado was 17 when he was shot and killed on the streets of Yakima, Washington, on the evening of October 24, 2017. According to reports, a Chevrolet Impala pulled up, someone got out, spoke with Prado and then opened fire. He was rushed to a local hospital but bled to death from multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators quickly identified a primary suspect, 15-year-old Luis Medina-Beltran, and sought warrants charging him with first- and second-degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm. For a period he was considered at large and armed and dangerous. In January following the killing, Yakima Police arrested Luis Medina-Beltran and two other teenagers, aged 17 and 18, in connection with the shooting.

Napoleon was a high school student remembered for his vibrant personality and close family ties. Does anyone have information about that night or knew Napoleon and can help fill in what happened?
