OTHELLO — Charges are pending against two Othello boys in connection with the death of an Othello-area man following a shooting June 26.
The Adams County Sheriff’s Office announced the death of Felipe Garza, 50, in a statement Thursday. Garza was hospitalized at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane.
Brothers Arturo Pineda-Feliciano, 16, and Gustavo Pineda-Feliciano, 14, were arrested June 28 at a hotel in Sunnyside. Both are allegedly gang members, according to law enforcement.
“All we can say is, it’s gang-related at this point,” said Adams County Sheriff Dale Wagner.
Wagner did not say whether the victim and alleged shooters knew each other.
The shooting occurred at about 8:30 p.m. June 26 in the 2200 block of West Charla Road.
The ACSO has asked that Arturo Pineda-Feliciano be charged as an adult, according to social media posts.
“Adams County Prosecutors are working out charges at this time,” the announcement said.
