On Monday, police arrested a teen at a hospital in Richland for their alleged involvement in the shooting. The teen, who had been admitted to the medical center for a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the leg, was charged with first-degree murder.

Arrest warrants were then issued for both Beltran-Rodriguez and 18-year-old Matthew Valdez on Tuesday, charging them with first-degree murder, first-degree assault (five counts), drive-by shooting and felon in possession of a firearm.

Valdez was arrested early Friday morning at an apartment in Beaverton and is being held in jail pending extradition to Washington.

Officials say Beltran-Rodriguez is a suspected member of a gang involved in drug trafficking, violent assaults, robbery, homicide, money laundering and unlawful firearm possession.

Police say he should be considered armed and dangerous.
