Arthur Amaya, a 40-year-old husband and father from Kennewick, Washington, was killed in a drive-by shooting on September 17, 2023, while unloading his car outside his apartment on Tweedt Street as his family went inside. The Kennewick Police Department opened a homicide investigation and said preliminary findings pointed to gang-involved suspects, while stressing that Amaya himself was not affiliated with gangs.

Amaya worked as a school bus driver and ministered to gang members, and his death prompted community mourning and a GoFundMe to assist the family with funeral expenses.

Any readers who knew Arthur or witnessed the shooting are asked to contact investigators with information.
