I'm going to start documenting as many incidents as I can on this page for Wapato and Toppenish, much like what I've done for Yakima.
03/05/2009, Estevan "Lil Villian" Silva Jr. and Israel "Sleepy" Diaz both from (East Side Longo 13) were gunned down in a drive-by shooting after exchanging gang signs with Anthony Sanchez (Viva Los Locos 13) and Anthony's sister Isabel. Anthony was convicted of the double murder and sentenced to 50-years in prison. His sister was the driver and got 2-years in prison for rendering criminal assistance.
12/06/2009, Ladislado "Lechuga" Avila (West Side Tappas 13) was fatally shot while being chased in a car by Norteno gang members Fabian "Domestic" Arredondo and Rudy "Smiles" Madrigal. Toppenish Police arrested both, and they were convicted of the homicide. Arredondo was sentenced to 90-years in prison, and Madrigal was sentenced to 28-years.
01/07/2010, Fernando "Scarface" Figueroa from (Varrio Campo Vida) was found shot to death, wrapped in plastic and dumped into an irrigation canal outside of Toppenish. Figueroa's family last seen him on December 30th, 2009. Authorities believe his death might have been a drug deal gone badly. No arrests have been made.
04/15/2010, Joseph "Krylon" John (Bringing Up Kayos) was found shot to death and dumped into an irrigation canal near Granger. It is believed he was killed months earlier in the same incident that killed Fernando "Scarface" Figueroa as they were considered good friends and were last seen together before both of them disappeared. No arrests have been made.
02/21/2015, Ramon Verduzco was found shot to death in the 100 block of South Alder Street in Toppenish. Police arrested 15-year old Francisco Sanchez-Madrigal but later dropped all charges due to lack of evidence. No charges have been filed since.
05/10/2018, Dario Alvarado III (Norteno) was shot and killed by fellow gang member Jacob "Kapone" Ozuna (Original Loko Boyz) outside a home on 100 Winaway Road between Wapato and Toppenish. On December 9th, 2018 while in jail Jacob "Kapone" Ozuna was beaten to death by three Norteno gang members as punishment for this killing.
03/07/2023, Carlos "Gz" Enciso-Ramirez (CPV-Hell Block) was found fatally shot at the El Corral Motel in Toppenish. No arrests have been made.
10/01/2023, Mario "Kii" Cervantes (Varrio Campo Vida) was found fatally shot near 2nd Avenue & South Division Street in Toppenish. No arrests have been made.
