SUNNYSIDE -- Authorities on Tuesday morning arrested a man they say was responsible for a shooting in Sunnyside last week.

Sunnyside Police, with assistance from the Yakima County Violent Crimes Task Force, arrested a 20-year-old Sunnyside man Monday and plan to request charges of assault with a firearm for his alleged role in a Nov. 4 shooting, according to a police news release

Police say the suspect fired two shots at a black BMW driving near North Avenue and Victory Way shortly after 8 p.m. last Wednesday. No one was injured, the release said.

Officers in Sunnyside and Moxee, where the alleged shooter had ties, searched for the suspect with no luck until Tuesday morning.

The man now is in the Yakima County Jail, police said.
