This 2009 Ford Mustang belonging to Antonio Hernandez-Ledezma, of Boardman, was found abandoned with blood and a fired bullet inside near Zillah, Washington. Hernandez-Ledezma is presumed dead.

YAKIMA, Wash. — Yakima County sheriff’s detectives say a Washington man arrested on suspicion of murder lured a Boardman man to the Lower Valley with an offer to buy his car then shot him.

The body of Antonio Hernandez-Ledezma, 24, has not yet been found, according to investigators.

The man was facing rape charges in Yakima County Superior Court after allegedly impregnating a 13-year-old relative of the suspect, according to court records.

Investigators say Yoset Dominguez-Serrano offered to buy Hernandez-Ledezma’s car as a pretext to lure him from Oregon.

Hernandez-Ledezma was last seen Tuesday getting into the passenger seat to allow a potential buyer to test drive the car, sheriff’s Detective Sgt. Mike Russell said in a news release.

A witness later identified the would-be buyer as Dominguez-Serrano, according to an affidavit filed by investigators.

Later Tuesday, deputies were asked to check on an abandoned vehicle near a Zillah-area orchard. The green Ford Mustang had a broken window and a significant amount of blood on the passenger seat, detectives said. A fired bullet was also found inside during a later search.

Officials say they are still searching for Hernandez-Ledezma’s body.

Dominguez-Serrano appeared in Yakima County Superior Court Thursday where bail was set at $1 million. He is being held on suspicion of first-degree murder and first-degree assault.
