A 24-year-old Yakima man is accused of killing his mother's fiance after a dispute.

Ka-Sean A. Smalley went to the Yakima police on Sunday evening, a day after the police said he shot Richard E. Peterson, 37.

The Yakima police were called to an apartment in the 1100 block of the North Fourth Street on Saturday at 1 a.m. They found Peterson and started first aid together with paramedics, but Peterson was declared dead on site, according to an affidavit of YPD.

Yakima County's deputy medical doctor, Marshall Lyd, said an autopsy was held in Benton County on Wednesday.

Witnesses told the police, Peterson and his fiance quarrel in a bedroom when Smalley went into the bedroom and Peterson confronted. Smalley pushed Peterson on the

Peterson's fiancee told the police that she had only an oral argument and that Peterson did not hit her.

At the scene of the crime, the officers apparently found the ball that went through Peterson's neck, said the affidavit.

Smalley, said witnesses, left the apartment and got into his car and drove away, said the affidavit. Smalley's Ford Taurus was found in the 300 block of the South Fourth Street.

Smalley made up the police at around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, and one of the people with him contained a bag with a governor of 0.45 caliber and Wesson, the governor Revolver.

He is captured in the prison of Yakima County because of the second degree murder.

At Smalley's provisional appearance in front of the Supreme Court of Yakima on Monday, the deputy prosecutor Nicholas Barrett Yakima County asked for a deposit of $ 1 million and recognized that the crime was still being examined.

“There is likely because Mr. Smalley and (Peterson) have a disagreement and it became violent,” said Barrett. “Mr. Smalley was the one who was armed and his mother's dead.”

Keaton Beattie, a public defender who represents Smalley for the hearing on Monday, said that Smalley had shown that he was a little risk not to appear in court by submitting himself. The probable explanation does not clearly state whether Smalley was armed.

He asked that Smalley's deposit was determined under the circumstances of $ 100,000 to $ 200,000.

Judge Shanverthorn said that the deposit of $ 1 million was from Smalley's reach, but he said that a deposit was justified due to the allegations of a “rather random crazy violence”. He put deposit on 200,000 US dollars.

Peterson's death is the third murder in the city and the sixth in the county this year.
