YAKIMA, Wash. — A 36-year-old Parker man has been charged in federal court with killing three people in Parker this past month.
A federal grand jury indicted Clifton Frank Peter on two first-degree murder counts and a charge of second-degree murder, as well as two counts of discharging a firearm during a violent crime, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
He is expected to make an initial appearance Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Dimke in Yakima.
Peter was arrested without incident afterward near Parker Bridge Road, the release said. He has been held in the Yakama Nation jail since his arrest, and was booked into the Yakima County jail Wednesday afternoon on a U.S. Marshal’s hold, according to jail records.
Federal authorities are handling the case because Peter is a citizen of the Yakama Nation and the killings occurred on the Yakama reservation.
Peter was previously convicted of second-degree unlawful firearm possession in Klickitat County Superior Court in 2013, and first-degree robbery and motor-vehicle theft in Yakima County Superior Court in 2011.
The three were among 21 people killed in homicides in Yakima County this year.
