YAKIMA, Wash. — A man who was shot in the head early Sunday morning during a Halloween party near downtown Yakima has died, authorities confirmed.
Jason Baldoz, 34, was pronounced dead at 8:18 a.m. today at Yakima Regional Medical & Cardiac Center, according to Yakima County coroner Jack Hawkins.
His death brings the county’s homicide count to 20.
Police on Sunday arrested a 19-year-old Yakima man and known gang member in connection to the shootings, which occured around 1:30 a.m. Sunday in the 300 block of North Seventh Street. Two other men were shot, and one remains in serious condition at Regional.
Baldoz was not a gang member, said Yakima police Sgt. Scot Levno. He lived in the Yakima Valley.
Detectives are asking for help identifying the shooter from anybody who attended the Halloween party. Levno said the shootings began when two known gang members crashed the party and were asked to leave.
“They loitered outside for a while and other uninvited guests engaged in a confrontation with them,” Levno said.
Anyone with information is asked to call 509-575-6212.
