MANSON, Wash. — Chelan County Emergency Management says four people are confirmed dead after a standoff that followed a shooting involving police near Manson.
The four dead in Manson were identified by police on Thursday.
24-year-old Edgar Cisneros-Costumbre and 58-year-old Jose Luis Leyva Rodriguez—both of Manson—were found shot to death in a vehicle off Ivan Morse Road Tuesday.
Cisneros was a potential witness in the murder, kidnapping and assault case of Ignacio Ramirez, for which Benito Caro Sedano was the prime suspect.

Chelan County Sheriff's deputies believe Sedano shot Cisneros and Rodriguez, then fired on a deputy at least 11 times before going home and killing his wife—50-year-old Maria G. Sedano—then himself.
Their son, 29-year-old Benny G. Sedano, was arrested Wednesday afternoon on an outstanding DOC warrant.
Detectives are still processing the multiple crime scenes.
Chelan County Sheriff Brian Burnett said that at about 1:57 p.m. Tuesday, deputies were called to the 1000 block of Ivan Morse Road in Manson for a report of two men in a vehicle being shot in an orchard.
Undersheriff John Wisemore later confirmed two people were fatally shot.
Witnesses reported the gunman as an older man leaving the area in a blue pickup.
The first Chelan County deputy arrived in the area at about 2:02 p.m. and witnessed a man driving a four wheel ATV with a passenger on the back approaching Ivan Morse Road from a dirt road.
The deputy believed the riders on the ATV were either witnesses or one of the injured victims and started to get out of his patrol vehicle when the driver of the ATV raised a rifle-style firearm and proceeded to shoot multiple times at the deputy, striking the fully marked patrol car.
The deputy got back into his vehicle, put it into reverse and retreated down Ivan Morse Road. One of the bullets hit the left front tire of the patrol car, causing it to skid and hit an embankment before coming to a stop.
The deputy was able to take cover and radio for backup, as the suspect on the ATV fled the scene.
Detectives obtained a search warrant for a home in the 1000 block of Ivan Morse Road in an attempt to locate the suspected gunman as SWAT officers surrounded the home.
On Wednesday at 1 a.m., SWAT members and officers from multiple agencies and counties, along with the King County Sheriff’s Office Guardian One chopper, started a search of the property, which contained several homes and outbuildings.
During the search, deputies discovered the bodies of a man and a woman.
