Influencer Yarely Ashley Hermosillo died in a shooting on Friday, Aug. 15. She was 27.
The Arizona-based content creator was known on social media for regularly posting cooking and lifestyle content to her accounts, where she maintained a following of over 300,000 people across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
According to local outlets AZFamily and 12News, Glendale police have arrested suspect Jesus Preciado Dousten, 33, on several charges including second degree murder in connection to Hermosillo's death.
Police state that Dousten, who was driving a pickup truck on Friday evening, began to argue with the driver of another pickup truck while stopped at a red light in Glendale, Ariz. As the argument continued, police say, Dousten pulled out a handgun, firing a shot at random, which went through the passenger window of Hermosillo's vehicle and struck her in the head, though she wasn't involved in the argument.
Hermosillo's boyfriend, who was driving the vehicle at the time, rushed to the hospital, where Hermosillo later died, per police. Authorities added that the couple's young son and Hermosillo's mother were in the backseat of the vehicle at the time, but there were no other injuries.
Glendale Police Sergeant Brian Hoskins told AZFamily that homicide detectives used video from multiple cameras to identify Dousten as the owner of the vehicle involved in the shooting. After searching a Glendale home, where police recovered two handguns, authorities arrested Dousten at his apartment, the outlet reported.
He is being held on a $1 million bond on the charges of second-degree murder, aggravated assault, misconduct involving weapons and endangerment, per AZ Family.
In a GoFundMe started by Hermosillo's family to raise money for her funeral expenses, the late influencer was remembered as 'a loving wife, a devoted mother, and a beautiful soul whose light touched everyone who knew her.'

DOE officials misusing government credit cards for personal expenses — audit
Department of Energy officials wrongfully spent thousands of dollars on personal expenses such as groceries and cash advances with government-issued travel credit cards, according to a new audit. The report from DOE's inspector general found that officials misused the cards and kept 'delinquent' account balances while supervisors often did not address the issue when flagged about it. Overall, auditors identified 149 transactions made by 32 individuals involving potential misuse of travel expenses. 'Notably, the misuse and lack of leadership action was not limited to any one program but identified across many Department program elements,' the audit said. Advertisement The identified questionable expenses totaled more than $15,000, including use of travel cards for activities such as 'pediatric services,' as well as dining and shopping. In other cases, officials did not follow rules in booking travel through DOE's system or used the cards when not on official work travel.
