Yakima Police say the incident started late Tuesday night when the victim called police to report a problem with the father of her child

Earlier this year the Yakima Police Department made a presentation to the city about installing Red Light cameras to help put a stop to the problem.

Officers were called to the area of 3rd Avenue and Yakima Avenue at about 7:00PM where they found a victim.

Yakima Police officials say some officers are also choosing early retirement because of the new police reform laws in Washington State.

Yakima Police say the shooting was reported in the area of 24th and Englewood Avenue at about 10:45AM.

Police Capt. Jay Seely says 33-year-old Efren Araiza Acevedo and 26-year-old Isidro Acevedo are being held in San Diego after being arrested on Sunday.

Authorities say they've seen an uptick over the last two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

When they arrived they found a 15-year-old girl, who is a local gang member shot in the chest area.

One of the officers from Yakima is Mike Henne. After more than 25 years as a Yakima Police Officer he decided to retire early rather than try and do his job under the scrutiny of new state laws.

Many officers are feeling the pressure and are retiring, some early to escape state scrutiny.
