40-Year-Old Man Dies in Kennewick Drive-By Shooting
Kennewick Police continue to search for leads in the fatal shooting of a man Sunday night.
Man found with gunshot wounds in an area known for gang activity
The 600 block of North Tweedt Street in Kennewick, just off Hood Ave. is no stranger to violent activity. Several years ago, a woman was fatally shot and dumped in the middle of the street, and a home and some apartments were hit with stray bullets from a drive-by shooting.
Sunday night, around 10:42 PM Kennewick officers responded to a call about a shooting. When they arrived they found a man, identified as Arthur Amaya, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Witnesses and KPD say Amaya is not involved in any gang-related activity, but the drive-by shooting is believed to be gang-related. Despite efforts by EMS to save him, Amaya died at the scene.
