Juan Antonio Palomino was 25 when he was shot and killed while a passenger in a car on Highway 97 near the Buster Road intersection in Toppenish, Washington, on the night of January 8, 2017.

Juan was remembered as creative and inventive, with a passion for technology and repairing gadgets and cars. The Yakima County Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation; the driver reported that another car had been following them and that an angry gesture occurred before the shooting, which prompted investigators to question whether the people involved may have known each other rather than this being entirely random.

If anyone has information about that night or knew Juan, please share what might help the investigation.
