UPDATE: Three Suspects Arrested in Hermiston Shooting

Hermiston Fatal Shooting
The Hermiston Police Department has confirmed that three arrests, two adult and one juvenile, have been made in the fatal shooting of a 22-year-old man at the Gotta Stop gas station which occurred on Monday.
Jason Edmiston, Acting Chief of the Hermiston Police Department, and Dan Primus, Umatilla County District Attorney, said information about who was arrested has not been released.
It is unclear, however, if all the three suspects are still in custody.
Primus said that one of the suspects has been released since his arrest, while Edmiston believes all three of the suspects are still in custody.
Primus has identified Salvador Valencia, 22, as the victim in the fatal shooting at the Gotta Stop gas station that took place in Hermiston on Monday.
Primus said that there are also a few people that checked into the Good Shepherd Hospital in Hermiston with wounds related to the shooting on Monday, but no details have been released about the exact amount of people and what type of injuries.
A spokesperson for Good Shepherd said security has been heightened in the emergency room as a result of the incident on Monday.
Valencia was killed Monday afternoon in a shooting outside of a Hermiston gas station and convenience store called Gotta Stop.
Workers at the Gotta Stop said the incident happened around 3:30 PM when a group of men started fighting in the parking lot.
The workers said a man, believed to be Valencia, ran into a SUV to get away, but was shot and killed.
Primus said there is still a lot of information authorities are looking for, and for now he will not say if there are any suspects in custody.
Steve Cline, Hermiston, lives close to the gas station where the shooting took place, he said he was very surprised by the incident.
I received a text from a neighbor that said there was a shooting, there was a death," Cline said. "I thought, wow, small town for that...pretty close by."
Authorities will neither confirm nor deny yet whether or not this incident is gang related.
