Police Still Searching for Richland 4th of July Shooting Suspect
Richland police are looking for help finding one of the suspects in the 4th of July shooting at Howard Amon Park. He is 34 year old Kenyatta T. Turner, but it should be easy to find him because he is 5'9" and 370 pounds.
Turner is one of the two adults charged with allegedly telling teens to shoot a man last 4th of July in Richland. The other adult, 27 year old Traybion Tyree Dickerson, was caught at SeaTac airport and is being held in King County.
Both men are charged with one count each of first-degree assault even though they were not the ones who fired the gun at Sergio Rivera that day.
Witnesses say they heard Dickerson yelled "We’ll be back ... I’m gonna kill you ... F------ die", at the victim before the incident court documents say.
Warrants and bail for both men was set at $250,000, according to reports.
Both men have a violent previous criminal history. Turner has a second-degree assault, four drug possessions, two drug deliveries and an attempting to elude on his record. Dickerson was convicted of two drug delivery charges and a drive-by shooting.
If you have any information that can help police find Mr. Turner, please contact the Richland Pd at (509) 942-7340 or contact Det. Sgt. Drew Florence at dflorence@ci.richland.wa.us.
