SUNNYSIDE, Wash. —

A man has been arrested in a Sunnyside convenience store killing that police say may have been gang related.

The 25-year-old Sunnyside man was taken into custody late Wednesday at a home in nearby Granger, but Sunnyside police did not announce the arrest until two days later.

The man is being held for investigation of second-degree murder, first-degree assault and second-degree assault.

Police spokeswoman Charlotte Hinderlider says the man is believed to be involved in the death of 22-year-old Jesus (hay-SOOS') Tlaseca Sosa. Sosa was fatally shot and a 20-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy were injured on Jan. 4 at an AM-PM Mini-Mart in Sunnyside.
