KING COUNTY, Wash. — Washington State Patrol troopers arrested a man accused of murder on January 11.
WSP said it got a call from Burien police on December 1. Police told troopers they were at the scene of a man found dead under the South 146th Street overpass of State Route 509.
The on-scene investigation showed that the man, from Tacoma, had died of his stab wounds.
“Over the next several weeks WSP detectives worked tirelessly investigating leads,” said a spokesperson.
On January 11, after developing probable cause, troopers arrested a 32-year-old man for second-degree murder. He was booked into the King County Jail.
WSP said the King County Prosecutor’s Office formally filed charges last week.
