14-year-old suspect arrested in December murder outside Kennewick apartments
A second teen has been arrested in the murder of a 16-year-old outside the Heatherstone Apartments in Kennewick more than two months ago
Alexander Carcamo-Danley was found fatally wounded outside the apartments on West 10th Avenue the evening of Dec. 3.
Continued investigation of the circumstances around Carcamo-Danley’s death led to the arrest of a 14-year-old boy on Thursday, according to Kennewick police.
The suspect was taken into to custody in the 3000 block of Queensgate Drive in Richland and booked into the Benton Franklin juvenile detention center on suspicion of first degree murder, according to police. His name was not released by police.
His arrest followed the Dec. 9 apprehension of Jacob A. Carillo, 15, in Union Gap after a nationwide warrant was issued for his arrest.
Carillo, of West Richland, was driving around in a Honda Civic on Dec. 3 with three other teens looking for Carcamo-Danley, whom Carillo suspected of being in a rival gang.
They found him in a parking lot at the Heatherstone Apartments talking on his phone to his girlfriend.
Carillo is accused of firing multiple shots, with one bullet hitting Carcamo-Danley in the neck and killing him, said investigators. Six 9 mm shell casings were found in the parking lot of the apartment complex.
No one was arrested that night, but police later found a series of videos and text messages allegedly linking Carillo to the shooting.
Carrillo is a Hanford High School student who allegedly met one of the other suspects involved in the shooting after a fight at the school. It is not known if that is the teen arrested Thursday in Richland.
Carcamo-Danley had reportedly crossed paths with Carrillo during a stay at the Benton Franklin juvenile detention center, according court documents.
Carrillo claimed in an Instagram message to another teen that Carcamo-Danley downplayed being involved with a rival gang but then was allegedly talking about his gang involvement after being released.
The teens involved in the shooting also allegedly talked about the murder on SnapChat and later tried to erase their posts, according to court documents.
