Capt. Jeff Sursely says the gun will be forensically tested to see if it matches the one used in the crime, which took place on Saturday, March 8 in the 1100 block of Stratford Road.

Witnesses at the scene reportedly told police they saw a white sedan pull up alongside the victim's car and fire several rounds at it.

The victim, who received wounds to his back and arm in the shooting, was transported to Samaritan Hospital in Moses Lake for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Medina was booked into the Grant County Jail on suspicion of drive-by shooting and assault.

Investigators have not said if the shooting was gang-related.
