YAKIMA, Wash. — The suspect in a Yakima man’s shooting death earlier this month was arrested late Wednesday near Tacoma, authorities say.
Alexander Quintana, 29, was taken into custody by Tacoma police outside his brother’s house, according to a news release from the Yakima Police Department.
Quintana faces a second-degree murder charge in the Dec. 12 death of William Kreder, 21.
Police said witnesses told them that Kreder had gone to a home in the 1100 block of Baker Street to buy drugs shortly before midnight. A witness told police that Quintana shot Kreder in the head.
Quintana is expected to be returned soon to the Yakima County jail before making his first court appearance in the case.
