15-year-old suspect arrested in shooting death of 16-year-old Alexander Carcamo in Kennewick
UNION GAP, Wash. — The Kennewick Police Department has announced the arrest of a 15-year-old West Richland boy in connection with the December 3 fatal shooting of 16-year-old Alexander Carcamo at an apartment complex on West 10th Avenue.
The juvenile suspect was taken into custody on a charge of first-degree murder following a multi-agency operation involving local law enforcement and the FBI.
Detectives had been actively investigating the case since the night of the shooting, gathering evidence and following numerous leads.
Their work ultimately led to the identification of the 15-year-old as the primary suspect. A warrant was subsequently issued for his arrest.
On the evening of December 9, investigators tracked the suspect to a residence in Union Gap, where officers from multiple law enforcement agencies executed two related search warrants—one at a residence on West Pine Street in Union Gap and another on Summitview Road in Cowiche.
The juvenile suspect was located inside the Union Gap home and arrested without incident. According to police, multiple firearms were recovered from both residences and seized as evidence.
The suspect was transported to Kennewick and booked into the Benton-Franklin Juvenile Justice Center on a first-degree murder charge.
During the operation, officers also arrested a second individual on unrelated charges. 20-year-old Andres Medina-Garcia, believed to be connected to recent break-ins at Hubby’s Pizza and Summer’s Hub in Kennewick, was found at the same Union Gap residence and taken into custody. He was transported to the Yakima County Jail.
On December 3 at approximately 7:22 p.m., Kennewick officers responded to reports of an active shooting at an apartment complex on West 10th Avenue.
Upon arrival, officers located a 16-year-old boy suffering from gunshot wounds. Officers attempted life-saving measures, but the teen—identified by loved ones as Alexander Carcamo—succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
Detectives collected evidence and canvassed the area as part of the ongoing investigation. The victim’s family has been notified.
The Kennewick Police Department continues to urge anyone with additional information to contact them at 509-628-0333, or to submit an anonymous tip online.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
