Jose M. Pichardo was 22 when he was shot and killed on October 31, 2014, in Moses Lake, Washington. He had spent his lunch break with his mother before returning to work. While driving on Valley Road he was struck by a gunshot, lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a nearby home. The occupants of that house—a mother and her young child—were unharmed, but Pichardo died at the scene.

Grant County authorities identified 22-year-old Luis A. Suarez Galvan as the prime suspect and charged him in Grant County Superior Court with first-degree murder, second-degree murder and a drive-by shooting. Galvan has not been apprehended; police say he evaded capture and may have received assistance from friends. A nationwide warrant is active and his photograph has been released; he reportedly has the words Respect and Loyalty tattooed on his forearms.

Are there any readers who remember seeing Pichardo or Galvan in the Moses Lake or Yakima areas around late 2014 or who have information about Galvan’s whereabouts?
