MOSES LAKE — Sixteen-year-old Gavin Hayes, of Quincy, was killed Monday afternoon from a gunshot wound to the chest at a home in the 300 block of South Gibby Road, according to Grant County Coroner Craig Morrison.

Morrison also said Hayes’ death was a homicide after completing the autopsy Wednesday. Hayes’ family was notified.

An 18-year-old Moses Lake man also was injured in what police believe was a gang-related incident.

No further information was released about the victims or possible suspects by press time.

The shooting was reported at about 4:30 p.m. Monday. Officers began first aid when they arrived and Moses Lake Fire Department medics responded, but Hayes died at the scene. The 18-year-old was taken to Samaritan Hospital.

“Detectives processed the scene and discovered at least 10 rounds had been fired from near a residence on Lee Street,” Sands wrote in an earlier release. “An uncooperative subject was detained shortly after officers arrived, but later released. Detectives served a search warrant on the property where the shots were fired and will be following up on the evidence they located.”
