YAKIMA — A defendant in a Grandview drive-by gang shooting who refused to take a plea bargain was convicted at his trial in Yakima and sentenced Tuesday to seven years in prison.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reported that was twice as long as the prison terms given to two accomplices who made plea bargains with the prosecutor.
The 23-year-old Ely Hernandez Garcia was driving the car from which the two other men fired shots last June at a parked car. It was apparently in retaliation for vandalism to another car.
