YAKIMA, Wash. — A 32-year-old Yakima man (said to be "Loco" or "Loko" from the Chinanos Por Vida gang-CPV) died just before midnight Friday after he was shot in the head while working on a car on South
26th Avenue.
Yakima police identified the victim a Luis E. Gonzales. His home address was not listed in a Yakima Police Department news release issued this morning.
According to the news release, Gonzales and another man were working on the car in a driveway in the 1000 block of South 26th when a man approached and shot Gonzales in the head at close range with a pistol.
The gunman ran away, and the other man in the driveway believed he got into a light-colored, newer minivan that left the area.
Gonzales was taken to Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital, where he died at about 11:45 p.m.
Capt. Greg Copeland said in the news release that Gonzales was a known gang member but that police hadn’t determined whether the shooting was gang-related. The gunman was described as a husky male, about 6 feet 2 inches tall and wearinga light colored hoody sweatshirt underneath a light colored jacket.
