Two suspects arrested, one on the run after fatal Moses Lake drive-by shooting

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Two were arrested and one man remains on the run in connection to a fatal drive-by shooting in Moses Lake, which killed a teenage boy and left four others critically injured.

According to the U.S. Marshals Service, they are offering up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of 20-year-old Jose Beltran-Rodriguez, who is wanted in connection to the Mar. 21 shooting.

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.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the U.S. Marshals Service or local police.
