In the early evening of December 3, 2025, the life of 16-year-old Alex Carcamo-Danley was tragically cut short in a burst of gunfire. The incident occurred around 7:20 p.m. in the parking lot of the Heatherstone Apartments on West 10th Avenue in Kennewick, Washington. When police officers arrived at the scene, they discovered the wounded teenager and, despite their efforts to save him, he succumbed to his injuries.
Initial reports from witnesses suggested a possible shootout had taken
place in the apartment complex's parking lot. Investigators quickly determined that the shooting appeared to be a targeted attack rather than a random act of violence. While authorities have not confirmed the specific motive, they have indicated that the shooting is likely gang-related. Police also received information that multiple suspects may have fled the scene in a sedan. At the time of the incident, it was unclear if Carcamo-Danley was residing in the Tri-Cities area, as law enforcement knew him to have moved in and out of the region.
The investigation into Alex Carcamo-Danley's death made a significant breakthrough when law enforcement officers tracked a suspect to a residence in Union Gap. There, they arrested a 15-year-old male in connection with the fatal shooting. The teenage suspect was taken to the Benton Franklin Juvenile Justice Center and is now facing a charge of first-degree murder. While this arrest marks a critical development in the case, the investigation remains active as authorities continue to piece together the events that led to the deadly confrontation.
