Yakima- two teens wounded in driveby shooting

YAKIMA — Police are investigating a drive-by shooting that left two teenagers wounded late Tuesday afternoon.

Three male juveniles were walking at 4:37 p.m. on Willow Street just west of North Fifth Avenue when a passenger in a passing car fired several shots at them, according to a Yakima police news release.

A 15-year-old who was hit in the chest and a 17-year-old who was struck in the legs and back were reported in stable condition Tuesday evening, according to the news release. A third juvenile, who was not injured, called 9-1-1 to report the shooting.

The shooting occurred at the same location where 17-year-old Yorbane Ortiz was killed in a drive-by shooting Sept. 29.

Detectives are investigating Tuesday's incident as a gang-related crime.

The suspect vehicle was an older gray Nissan four-door sedan, last seen going north on North Sixth Avenue.
