Deputies seeking help with information on Royal City shooting

The Grant County coroner released Tuesday, 28-year-old Arturo Sosa from Othello died from multiple gunshot wounds in a shooting in Royal City last Friday and the other person in the SUV was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Deputies say they do believe someone else was responsible for the shooting but there is currently no description of those responsible or of any involved suspect vehicle.

The Grant County Sheriff's Department is now asking for anyone with information to call police. Detectives say they are looking for anyone who may have passed by on SR262 between 4:10 and 5:00 a.m. Friday. The victims’ vehicle, a green mid-90's Ford Explorer was westbound on SR26 approaching SR262 when the shooting happened. The Explorer ended up stopped and partially blocking westbound SR262.

The victims’ Ford Explorer is unique as it has Herbalife independent distributor decals printed in Spanish across the rear window.

Kyle Foreman with the Grant County Sheriff’s Office says they were called to a car on the side of the road Friday morning on Highway 26 east of Royal City, where they found the two people inside. Sosa was dead from gun shot wounds, and the other person was injured by a gun shot wound, then Life Flight was called.
