CHEHALIS – One of four individuals initially believed to be inside a Chevrolet Blazer during a drive-by shooting last summer in Chehalis was sentenced to jail today, but not for drive-by shooting as she was previously charged.<\/p>\n

Christina Palomares, 24, of Tenino, was arrested in mid-August after the incident on Southwest William Street. A .45 caliber round found at the scene missed several people standing outside but struck an unoccupied parked vehicle.<\/p>\n

Authorities described the shooting as related to a debt owed to somebody called “Candy man” and perpetrated by gang members of the LVL, or Little Valley Lokotes. Chehalis police originally believed the mother of three was the driver.<\/p>\n

In a plea deal, Palomares pleaded guilty today to two counts of malicious prosecution. She was sentenced in Lewis County Superior Court to 90 days in jail.<\/p>\n

She lied about who was in the vehicle, Deputy Prosecutor Colin Hayes said this afternoon. There was some question about if she was even in the SUV, he said.<\/p>\n

“We’re not sure who was in the driver’s seat,” he said.<\/p>\n

Palomares is the third original suspect against whom drive-by charges have been dropped in the case.<\/p>\n

Juan Valentino Vasquez was released in March. Last fall, drive-by shooting charges were dismissed against Ruben Alberto Palomares, the husband of Christina Palomares.<\/p>\n

Remaining as a suspect in the shooting is Andrew Morales-Loberg, of Chehalis.<\/p>\n

He has not yet been picked up in the case, but Hayes said today Morales-Loberg may be currently in the Yakima County Jail, but that wasn’t yet confirmed.<\/p>\n

If he is there, the warrant is still active so he would be sent to Lewis County when Yakima is done with his case there, Hayes said.<\/p>\n

The alleged target pointed to then 19-year-old\u00a0 Morales-Loberg as the shooter, according to charging documents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
