OTHELLO — The Adams County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in finding two Othello-area men being sought in connection with a drive-by shooting July 11.
Deputies are looking for Gustavo Pineda-Feliciano, 18, and Angel Alvarez, 22, in connection with the shooting on West Angel Street west of Othello. One person sustained a gunshot injury to the face in the incident, according to a statement from the ACSO.
Adams County Sheriff Dale Wagner told the Columbia Basin Herald the two suspects have gang affiliations.
Wagner said in the statement that ACSO investigators served two search warrants on residences in the Edson Tracts area near Othello at about 6 a.m. Monday. The ACSO was assisted by the Moses Lake Regional Tactical Response Team and other law enforcement agencies, he said.
The shooting may have been gang-related, Wagner said in an earlier statement.
People who might have information about Pineda-Feliciano or Alvarez are encouraged to contact the ACSO at 509-659-1122 or at [email protected]. Tipsters may remain anonymous.
“Additional information will be released as it becomes available and as the investigation allows,” Wagner said.

Comment period still open for 2027 Grant PUD budget
EPHRATA — Grant County Public Utility District customers can still submit their opinions on the proposed 2027 budget in writing on the PUD website until the budget is adopted. Utility district commissioners are scheduled to vote on the final budget Nov. 24. The PUD is projected to spend $738.1 million in 2027, according to a presentation at the budget hearing Oct. 27. That's about a 5% increase over the 2026 budget. Some of those expenses will be offset by money the PUD gets from its customers and from selling power to outside customers. That's projected to be about $224.6 million.
