Yakima- man shot and killed during drug buy

YAKIMA, Wash. — A Yakima man died early Sunday after being shot at a home where he’d gone to buy drugs on Saturday night, police said.

William D. Kreder, 21, died at Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital on Sunday morning after being shot in the head several hours earlier, according to a news release from the Yakima Police Department.

Police said a witness told them that Kreder had gone into the home in the 1100 block of Baker Street in an attempt to buy narcotics shortly before midnight.

The man told police that he heard a gunshot a short time later and looked into the home to discover Kreder had been shot in the head. He then phoned authorities from a neighbor’s home, police said.

The home is about three blocks east of Yakima Valley Community College.

Kreder was taken to Memorial, where he died about 4:50 a.m.

The case remains under investigation. Police urge anyone with knowledge of the case to call them at 509-575-6200.
