On this episode of The D-Lo Show, we return to the fallout of the 2019 "Operation Net Nanny" sting. We provide a major update on Lucas Noe Martínez, who was recently sentenced to 7.5 years to life, despite his claims of being a "vigilante". We also check in on the "ghost in the system," Rakinder Singh Randhawa, the ongoing legal battles of Veniamin Gaidaichuk, and the controversial Senate Bill 5312 that could change everything for these convicted predators. Join host Ryan "D-Lo" DeLozier as we navigate the thin line between justice and the law in the Yakima Valley.

Why does it take years for a high-profile felony case to reach a jury in Yakima County? We dive into the active case of Teddy Lee Craven, from his 2023 arrest to the multiple continuances that have pushed his trial into mid-2026. We look at the "Determinate Plus" sentencing system in Washington and what the upcoming May trial date means for the victim and the community.

On December 23, 2025, 17-year-old José Franco Jr.—known on the streets as "Baby YS"—was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Francisco Serrano-Martínez. On this episode of The D-Lo Show, we dive deep into the evidence that brought him down, from "Flock" camera tracking to his history of firearm convictions while on probation.But this case isn't just about one shooting; it’s about a Yakima justice system at a crossroads. We explore:

• The Science of the Young Brain: How the "Houston-Sconiers" ruling is slashing sentences for violent offenders.
• The "Revolving Door" Reality: Why notorious local murderers are being released early and what it means for community safety.
• Gang Warfare in the Valley: A look at how the Yakima County Juvenile Justice Center manages rivalries behind bars.

Is the system prioritizing rehabilitation at the expense of justice? We break down the facts, the laws, and the local impact.

Back in February, we first covered the heartbreaking story of Kyleah Rose Tolle and the discovery that shook Yakima. Today, we have a major update. From the recently set 2026 trial date to the disturbing contrast between her social media presence and the reality inside her home, we break down the latest evidence. We also dive into the five felony charges she now faces and the community’s outcry over her current bail status.

In this episode of The D-Lo Show, we explore a case that shocked the Yakima community in early 2024. What began as a series of erratic, violent outbursts at a downtown apartment building escalated into a high-speed police chase and the tragic discovery of Yakima’s first homicide of the year. We delve into the charges against 31-year-old Julio Cesar Guzman, a man described by judges as an "extreme danger," and the final, heartbreaking moments of his mother, Ana Marie Guzman.

This week, we dive into the massive legal fallout following the conviction of Bryan Kohberger. We break down the $10 million defamation judgment against a TikTok psychic and the new, high-stakes lawsuit filed by the victims' families against Washington State University. Key Topics:

• Professor Rebecca Scofield’s victory in court.

• The 13 ignored warnings: Why the victims' families are suing WSU.

• The digital ethics of true crime sleuthing.

In September 2004, the Kiona-Benton community was shattered by the senseless murder of beloved football coach and middle school teacher, Bob Mars. He was killed for a bag of snacks and less than $100. Now, over two decades later, the men convicted of his murder are seeking early release.In this episode, we dive into the chilling details of the 2004 crime and explore the recent parole board reviews that have reignited old wounds. We also feature the powerful plea from Bob’s widow, Kris Mars, as she fights to keep her husband's killers behind bars. Join us as we examine the intersection of juvenile justice laws, a family's grief, and a community that refuses to forget its coach.

This episode examines four recent reports from the Yakima Herald-Republic that have shaped the local landscape of justice and mystery in early 2026.

  The Sprague Discovery: We look into the mysterious death of 26-year-old Aspen Jada Valdez. After disappearing from a vehicle while traveling from St. John to Yakima on February 26, her body was discovered in a backyard in Sprague. Though an autopsy has been performed, authorities have not yet reported signs of foul play.

  
  

• Sentencing at the Arboretum: We cover the conclusion of a harrowing 2023 case. Mark Lee Tongate, 21, was sentenced to 111 months to life for a rape at the Yakima Arboretum. The investigation relied on DNA analysis from the Washington State Patrol’s crime lab to identify Tongate, who was a Level One sex offender at the time of the attack.

  The North Fourth Avenue Shooting: A 19-year-old woman, Ashley García-Romero, was left in critical condition after a shooting on February 26. The suspect, Juan Iván Alonzo Cuevas-Ramos Jr., claimed the shooting was an accident that occurred while he was waving a firearm.

  Yakima’s First Homicide of 2026: We detail the tragic shooting on North Fifth Avenue that claimed the life of 16-year-old Jesús Rangel-Magallón. While detectives continue to search for the shooter, a 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of rendering criminal assistance by helping the suspect flee the scene.

In 1988, the Nickoloff murders shocked the Yakima Valley. Decades later, in 2014, a similar tragedy unfolded when 16-year-old Shalin Alltus ended her uncle’s life in Riverside. Both cases involved teenagers facing a lifetime behind bars, but the legal landscape they navigated has shifted dramatically.

We explore the recent 2025 interview where Shalin Alltus finally speaks out about the abuse that led to her conviction and ask: Why did the jury never hear her side? How does her case compare to the "justified homicide" of Kimberly Hansen? We also examine the landmark State v. Bassett ruling that banned mandatory life without parole for juveniles in Washington State, changing the fate of young offenders like Brian Bassett, Russell McNeil, and Herbert Rice. We’re looking at the laws that changed, the attorneys who fought back, and the question that haunts every courtroom: Who is truly a danger to society, and who is a survivor?

In this heartbreaking episode of The D-Lo Show, we examine a catastrophic breakdown in the local justice system that cost a woman her life. On September 5, 2024, a Yakima County judge released a documented gang member with an extensive criminal record on pretrial supervision, ignoring police recommendations for a high bail. Within hours of his release, 37-year-old Heather England was dead.

Host Ryan “D-Lo” DeLozier walks you through the violent escalation that started with a car-ramming incident, the controversial courtroom decision that put a dangerous man back on the streets, and the devastating events that unfolded in the early morning hours on Melis Road. We also discuss the suspect's shocking, vile behavior behind bars months after the murder.
