WAPATO Three suspects arrested in 2008 shooting death

WAPATO, Wash. -- Police said Friday they have arrested three people in connection with the shooting death last November of 16-year-old Ricky Cabrera of Wapato.

Stew Graham, chief of detectives for the Yakima County Sheriff's Office, said in a news release that a witness to the shooting came forward Friday and provided information leading to the arrest of a 45-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man, both of Union Gap, and a 13-year old male from Wapato.

Police are looking to question another 19-year-old man from the Wapato area.

Graham said the investigation is continuing.

Cabrera was walking to the Crossroad Market about 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 12, 2008, with a friend. The pair had walked about two houses down when a green, four-door car slowed beside them, according to the friend, Andrés Silva-Corona.

Someone yelled from the car and a gun emerged from the window. Shots were fired, hitting Cabrera in the shoulder and rupturing an artery. He bled to death at Toppenish Community Hospital.
