Suspects in Fatal Milton-Freewater Drive By Shooting Believed to Be Gang-Related
Milton-Freewater police continue to search for the suspects from a fatal shooting that occurred last Friday night. One victim died the next morning at an area hospital.
Police said the victim, 20-year-old Guadalupe Jose Diaz, had been shot multiple times. Previously he'd been arrested April 1st on charges of eluding police, and was supposed to be arraigned over a probation violation next week.
Authorities say the shooting may have involved members of rival gangs, and there are conflicting reports on the description of the vehicle involved. The Umatilla-Morrow County major crimes unit continues to investigate the incident.
