Noel Moctezuma was 26 when he was shot and killed inside his apartment on South 56th Avenue in Yakima, Washington, on the evening of February 21, 2017. An autopsy confirmed he died of a gunshot wound to the head. He was a Yakima resident and was married.

The case remained without a public suspect for more than a year. In June 2018 Yakima Police announced a second-degree murder warrant for Dallas F. Martin, then 20, after a witness led investigators to him. Police said the shooting was not random and was not tied to gang activity or drugs, but they did not immediately release a specific motive.

Martin was already out on bail facing a separate 2015 murder charge in Thurston County and was on trial for that case when the warrant in Moctezuma’s killing was secured. Does anyone have information about Noel’s last days or about the events at his apartment on February 21, 2017?
