SUNNYSIDE, Wash. (AP) — Police say a fatal shooting in Sunnyside is gang-related.

An 18-year-old on the front porch of a home was hit in the head Saturday night as shots fired from a passing car hit the front of the house.

The Yakima Herald-Republic reports the teen had been house-sitting for the residents who were out of town.

Family members of the victim told KNDO-TV he was not a gang member.

Police reportedly located a vehicle of interest and are still looking for the shooters.
