Two men were arrested Sunday morning by a team of Pasco and Kennewick police officers in connection with an assault that occurred about 4 p.m. Friday.

The men entered a residence in the 300 block of W. B. Street in Pasco, where they threatened the residents with handguns, Pasco police said.

Edgar A. Arroyos, 20, of Pasco, and Stephen E. Morfin, 21, of Kennewick, were booked on first-degree assault charges.

Police still are looking for a third accomplice in the assault, Isidro Licon, who also is a suspect in the shooting of a 39-year-old Pasco man shortly after 10 p.m. Friday at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Court Street in Pasco.

Licon is described as a Hispanic male, about 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds. He has brown eyes and short or shaved black hair.

Police said Licon is considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information about him should call the Pasco or Kennewick police departments.
