RENTON, Wash. — A 24-year-old man has been detained by Renton police after the department says he called 911 to report that his mother was dead.
The call came in around 2 a.m. on Tuesday.
When officers arrived to the home on Williams Avenue South, they confirmed that the woman, 62, was no longer alive.
Detectives say it appears there was some kind of a fight that led up to her death, and they developed probable cause to detain the son.
Detectives have not shared what they found that led to them detaining the son.
If anyone has information about this case that may help solve it, they can call 911 or email investigations at crimetips@rentonwa.gov and reference case #25-667.
