Yakima County, WA – Detectives in Yakima County are renewing their call for public help in solving a cold case homicide that has remained unsolved for three years.
According to the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office, the body of Ari Arellano was found in an orchard in rural Wapato, Washington, in 2022. Investigators say they are again reaching out to the community for any information that could help bring justice to Arellano and closure to his family.
Detective Arreguin with the sheriff’s office is leading the investigation and is urging anyone with knowledge about the case to come forward. Tips can be provided directly by calling 509-574-2565, or anonymously through Yakima County Crime Stoppers.
Officials emphasized that even small details may help investigators move the case forward, especially as they revisit evidence and reinterview witnesses. The sheriff’s office released the renewed appeal this week in both English and Spanish to reach a wider audience within the Yakima Valley community.
Anyone with relevant information is encouraged to contact authorities as soon as possible.
