Charles M. Burkybile, a 32-year-old Native American man, was shot and killed at his home in Harrah, near Toppenish, Washington, on January 25, 2014, during an attempted home invasion. Four men went to his residence intending to commit a robbery; they posed as buyers of marijuana. When Burkybile tried to close his door to avoid them, he was shot through the door and later died of a gunshot wound to the chest while being transported to a nearby hospital.

The Yakima County Sheriff’s Office investigation led to arrests. Luis Anguiano was charged with first-degree murder; court documents say the group had planned the attack. At trial, the vehicle driver testified under a plea deal that reduced his charges in exchange for cooperation. Luis Anguiano was convicted of first-degree murder with extreme indifference and, in 2015, received a sentence of nearly 70 years that also covered an assault charge related to the incident.

Did anyone in the area know Charles or have information about the men who came to his home that night?
