YAKIMA, Wash. - Authorities today formally charged the 42-year-old man accused in Monday’s fatal stabbing.
Richard Solis, of Yakima, was charged with second-degree murder in Yakima County Superior Court.
He is accused of stabbing 21-year-old Ali Lemus Vargas [an alleged Norteno gang member] multiple times in the head, chest and hands early Monday, authorities said. Lemus Vargas was found about 2:30 a.m. Monday near Pleasant Avenue and West Pierce Street.
Yakima police officers followed a trail of blood that led to a residence in the 1500 block of Seventh Avenue, where they found Solis.
Authorities said an interview with the suspect revealed that an argument between the two led to the stabbing.
Solis is being held on a $500,000 bail in Yakima County Jail. His next court appearance is scheduled for March 2.

Yakima- blood trail leads to arrest in stabbing death
Yakima police on Monday morning arrested a man they believe is responsible for the stabbing death of a 21-year-old man hours earlier.
Responding to a 2:30 a.m. call about an injured man near Pleasant Avenue and West Pierce Street, police said they found Ali Lemus Vargas in the street with multiple stab wounds to his head, chest and hands.
He was taken to a local hospital, but died a short time later, police said.
While at the scene, officers for several hours followed a trial of blood that led to a residence in the 1500 block of Seventh Avenue, where they found a 42-year-old man with hand injuries believed caused by a knife and a stab wound to his abdomen, police said.
Monday afternoon, two nearby residents said they didn't hear anything going on that morning.
Spray paint in the street marked where Vargas' body was found, and pointed out the trial of blood that ran along Pierce Street to Seventh Avenue.
Police said an interview with the suspect revealed that an argument between the two led to the stabbing.
Police said the suspect was booked into the Yakima County jail Monday on charges of second-degree murder.

Sunnyside- man stabbed, uncooperative
Last night (Monday) at approximately 8:20 p.m. a man was brought into the Sunnyside Community Hospital emergency room with a stab wound to his back. The hospital alerted the Yakima County Sheriff's Office of the incident.
The victim's girlfriend told deputies the pair had been at a residence on Fordyce Road. The man was in a bedroom there with an unknown subject when his girlfriend heard screaming. She told deputies she rushed to her boyfriend's aid to discover he had been stabbed. When she questioned him, he would not tell her who stabbed him and why. She rushed him to the emergency room shortly after, according to Yakima County Sheriff's Chief of Detectives Stew Graham.
He said the deputy investigating the incident was also unable to get the victim to disclose the name of the suspect. The deputy's report says the victim kept saying, "I'm too weak to talk."
Also since yesterday deputies have been alerted to two motor vehicle accidents.
Just after 8 a.m. yesterday multiple vehicles were involved in a crash at Glade and Alderdale roads near Mabton. Two tow trucks were called to the scene and injuries were reported.
Another accident was reported shortly before 8:30 a.m. in the area of Yakima Valley Highway and Sunnyside Road near Sunnyside. The vehicle at the scene was abandoned. Further details were not available.
Yakima County Sheriff's deputies have since yesterday received from Lower Valley residents a report of a safe found in a field, a suspicious activity call, a report of a runaway and a DUI call. Two stolen vehicles were recovered, as well.

Kennewick- 12 arrested in inter-gang brawl
KENNEWICK, WA-- Members of the same gang reportedly got into a bloody fight this morning, sending several people to the hospital and 12 to jail.
It took officers from at least three Tri-City agencies to sort out the mess at a Kennewick home.
Police were first called at 1:28 a.m. for a report of multiple people fighting in front of a unit at 2217 W. 12th Ave. Officers watched people run into the home as they arrived, said Kennewick Officer Tony Valdez.
Broken beer bottles and clothing, all covered in blood, littered the front yard, he said.
“The suspects could be seen inside but refused to come to the door,” Valdez said in a news release.
That’s when police learned that a woman was being treated in a Tri-City hospital emergency room for an apparent assault at the 12th Avenue address.
Officers with Kennewick’s Criminal Apprehension Team then arrived at the scene and received a telephonic search warrant to enter the home, Valdez said.
Once inside, police allegedly found 14 “highly uncooperative,” intoxicated men and women. Valdez said some of them were identified as Mexican Pride/Sureno gang members.
A number of the people had to be medically cleared for injuries suffered in the fight before being booked into the Benton County jail, he said.
Joshua Lee Acevedo, 20, received three staples for a head injury. It is his home where police said the fight broke out.
Also injured was Andres Ray Rodriguez, 25, who got four staples for a cut to his head, police said. Washington State Patrol troopers and Benton County sheriff’s deputies helped transport all the suspects to jail.
Those arrested were:
- Acevedo of Kennewick
- Rodriguez of Pasco
- Guadalupe Angelina Sanchez, 19, of Kennewick
- Martin Gerardo Pizarro, 19, of Kennewick
- Clarissa Montes, 18, of Pasco
- Greg Anthony Perez, 25, of Kennewick
- Sulema S. Vasquez, 19, of Pasco
- David Balbuena, 20, of Pasco
- Jesse Sifuentes, 39, of Kennewick
- Jaime R. Mercado, 36, of Kennewick
- Trevino Ignacio, 27, of Pasco
The name of the 12th person arrested was not listed in the news release.
The investigative hold for each suspect ranges from minor in possession/consumption of alcohol and possession of marijuana to maintaining a public nuisance and obstructing.

Wapato man stabbed 16 times
WAPATO — A 24-year-old Wapato man is in intensive care at a local hospital after being stabbed 16 times Wednesday night, police said.
Alberto Sanchez was standing outside an apartment in the 400 block of West Sixth Street about 11:50 p.m. when he was repeatedly stabbed, said police Chief Richard Sanchez, who is not related.
"We don't know if there was a party going on there or what," according to Chief Sanchez, who said the man was rushed to Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital.
Police are still investigating but have yet to identify any suspects.
"No one has provided any information about it," the police chief said. "I'm sure people in the area know who (the suspects) are, but they haven't told us."
There was no sign of robbery, and it's not clear whether the stabbing was gang-related, he said.

Grandview Homicide suspect to be tried as adult
YAKIMA, Wash. -- The 17-year-old boy accused of killing a teenage girl in Grandview last weekend will be charged with first-degree murder in adult court, authorities said.
Heriberto Saucedo was transferred Wednesday to Yakima County Jail, where his bail remains at $1 million. A Yakima County Juvenile Court commissioner signed an order Wednesday to move the case to adult court.
He will be arraigned at a 1:30 p.m. hearing today in Yakima County Superior Court.
Saucedo is accused of killing Chelsie Stoneking, 16, who was discovered dead early Sunday morning at her home in the 200 block of Pleasant Avenue. An autopsy Tuesday determined that she was suffocated, stabbed and beaten to death.
It remains unclear what the relationship was between her and Saucedo. Police and prosecutors have released few details, and members of both families have not said much.
A relative of Stoneking said the girl and Saucedo had lived together as friends. Both families declined to comment after the hearing Wednesday at juvenile court.
Saucedo had initially been charged in juvenile court with second-degree murder. But County Prosecutor Jim Hagarty said the charge was elevated because the homicide appears to have been premeditated. The charge may still be revised, depending on the ongoing Grandview police investigation, he added.
Relatives said Stoneking was a mother. Her 7-month-old son, Quincy Don Stoneking, will now be cared for by his grandmother. Herald-Republic birth records don't list a father.
Stoneking was a sophomore at Grandview's Compass High School, an alternative program for students who work or have children.

Grandview- asshole arrested for stabbing death of teenage girl
GRANDVIEW, Wash. — The victim in the weekend stabbing death in Grandview has been identified as 16-year-old Chelsie Stoneking of Grandview.
She was found early Sunday at her home in the 200 block of Pleasant Avenue.
Police say they have arrested a 17-year-old boy in connection with Stoneking’s death.
The girl had apparently been stabbed to death, according to an updated news release issued this morning by the Grandview Police Department.
Yakima County Coroner Jack Hawkins says the girl suffered stab wounds to the back, neck and abdomen. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday morning.
No motive had been determined, police said. Beyond saying the victim and suspect knew each other, the news release did not describe their relationship.
Stoneking’s family members called her a “good kid” who was attending Grandview’s Compass High School while raising a 7-month-old baby.
“She’s a darn good kid and she didn’t deserve what she got,” said her father, Ed Stoneking of Mabton “She was raising her baby and she was doing a good job of it.”
Her grandmother, Ilene Stoneking, echoed the sentiments: “She was a sweet loving little girl that didn’t deserve this.”
They declined to discuss any more about her.

Yakima- stabbing suspect now robbery suspect
YAKIMA, Wash. -- The 21-year-old sought by Yakima police for a Sunday stabbing is now also suspected in a bank robbery this morning.
Police say Aurelio Venegas robbed the Central Valley Bank, 301 W. Yakima Ave., at 10:40 a.m. The robber handed a teller a note and left with an undisclosed amount of cash. No weapon was seen.
“We got a pretty good description from the teller,” Yakima police Sgt. Scot Levno said.
That description, specifically mention of a mole on the left side of the robber’s face, led police to link the robbery with Sunday’s stabbing, at a Fairbanks Avenue apartment.
“It turns out it’s the same guy,” Levno said.
Police believe Venegas stabbed another 21-year-old man in the face and head Sunday morning. That man reported waking to find Venegas attacking him. Both men had arrived at the apartment in the 1300 block of Fairbanks Avenue earlier that morning. The victim was conscious and alert when police arrived at 9:35 a.m. He was taken to Yakima Regional Medical & Cardiac Center.
Police say Venegas is 5-foot-5 and Hispanic with a small build and that mole on his face. He was last seen wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and baggy jeans.
It’s unclear whether he’s still in Yakima, Levno said.
“We’re opining that maybe he needed the cash to get out of town (following the stabbing),” he said.
