Efforts are currently underway to extradite a man suspected of murdering two others in a 2005 incident.
Sunnyside Police Officers discovered two victims, Jose L. Barragan Guevara, 39, and Jesus Torres, 24, were both fatally wounded in a shooting incident on June 28, 2005. Also wounded in the incident was Alvaro C. Perez, who was 37-years-old at the time.
The shooting incident occurred in the 100 block of West Parkland Drive and Perez was taken into custody after being treated for his wounds. He had been found, according to Sunnyside Police officials, to have a warrant for first degree murder out of California.
For that warrant, he was extradited to the state of California and has been in custody there while awaiting trial for the murder.
During that time a warrant was issued by the Yakima County Prosecutor's Office for first degree murder in the 2005 Sunnyside case.
He will be sentenced Friday, Sept. 18, in California, and subsequently extradited back to Yakima County to stand trial for the murder in Sunnyside.
Police say he will likely be charged on an additional count of murder once he is in the Yakima County Jail.
