Warrants Issued In Valley Shootings Two Suspects Are Still At Large, Victims Are Out Of Hospital

Authorities issued warrants for the arrest of two suspects in Spokane Valley shootings that left three people hospitalized.

Arrest warrants were issued Friday for Jose Mendoza and Robert DeLao, both 20, who’ve remained at large since the shootings on Aug. 21.

Mendoza is wanted on five counts of attempted first-degree murder with a bond of $200,000, Sheriff’s Lt. David Wiyrick said.

DeLao is wanted as a material witness in the case with a bond set at $100,000, Wiyrick said.

The two suspects have ties to Hispanic gangs in Yakima, Moses Lake and the TriCities, deputies have said.

A 17-year-old already has been charged in the case.

Torrey Lowery, 18, was shot in the chest while sitting in the driver’s seat of his car. Two other victims in Lowery’s car - Heidi Hughes, 20, and Sabrina Lewin, 17 - also were shot. All three have been discharged from Sacred Heart Medical Center, a nursing supervisor said.
