KING CITY, Calif. —

A murder in King City left a 22-year-old man dead in his front yard Monday night. 

The victim was standing in front of his house on the 100 block of Division Street at 8:30 p.m. when he was shot in the head and chest, police Capt. Bruce Miller said. 

His mother and younger sisters were inside their house when more than a dozen shots were fired by a drive-by shooter. Police did not release the victim's name and no suspects have been arrested. 

"The victim is an active southern Hispanic gang member, but the motive for the murder has yet to be determined," Miller said.

It was King City's second murder of 2012. 

On Sept. 2, 25-year-old Diego Romero was shot to death at 402 7th St. in King City. Romero was pronounced dead at Mee Memorial Hospital. His friend, Anthony Navarro, 19, was also shot but survived. 

Six days later, police arrested Juan Serrano Jimenez, 22, of King City, was arrested on suspicion of murdering Romero and attempting to murder Navarro.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
