From Washington's Most Wanted:
WANTED IN YAKIMA COUNTY —
Yakima County detectives say ‘bad blood’ between two men led to bullets and bloodshed — and now the attempted killer needs to be found.
Detectives say the suspected gunman, Joaquin Soto-Rivas, came upon the victim working out in a field near the small town of Harrah. Detectives say Soto-Rivas wasn’t looking for the victim, but ‘saw red’ when once he spotted him. “Mr. Soto-Rivas began to swear at the victim and then retrieved a concealed pistol from his waistband and fired several shots at the victim and one of the shots actually struck the victim in the arm and so Yakima County Superior Court has issued an arrest warrant for Mr. Soto-Rivas for attempted murder at this point and time,” said Yakima County Det. Sgt. Mike Russell. It’s a $100,000 warrant.
He’s 32 years old, 5’5” and weighs 140 pounds.
If you know where he’s hiding, call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS, or use the P3 Tips App to submit your information and get the cash reward if your tip leads to his arrest.

Thoughts? 'Bad Blood'? Great, now I have Taylor Swift stuck in my head.
In all seriousness, while not excusing it, even though the victim didn't sound entirely innocent himself, what makes Soto-Rivas so allegedly dangerous is the fact that he is accused of a spur of the moment shooting without any seeming hesitation. The next time he allegedly shoots at a rival gang member, an innocent bystander could wind up getting killed.
I am assuming Soto-Rivas is still at large as of this posting date (11/11/2018) since he is still listed on Yakima Crime Stoppers (see link above). However, if anyone has any updates/proof-of-updates one way or the other, they are always more than welcome to let us know.
P.S. I put 2017 with a question mark since I'm not sure if that's the same year as the warrant and/or alleged incident, only that that's the year Washington's Most Wanted (Fox Seattle) profiled him.
