On the evening of May 19, 2017, in Yakima, Washington, 31-year-old Emilio Phelan was riding a bicycle near West Peach Street and Cornell Avenue when an argument reportedly occurred between him and occupants of a passing vehicle. Shots were fired from the car, striking Phelan. He was taken to a local hospital but died a short time later; the cause of death was significant blood loss from the gunshot wound. The city identified this as its ninth homicide of the year and said Phelan was not a known gang member, while the assailants’ affiliations were not immediately clear.

Police continued the investigation for months. On December 21, 2017, Yakima police arrested a 17-year-old male, Pedro Soliz, and charged him with first-degree murder. Authorities later identified a second suspect, 20-year-old Jeramiah Peralez, as the driver of the vehicle; Peralez was already incarcerated on a separate murder charge and was later charged in Phelan’s death.

Does anyone have information about that night or about Phelan’s movements in Yakima leading up to May 19, 2017?
