Sheriff’s Department investigating 2 deaths as murder-suicide in Graham
The deaths of two people found Thursday afternoon at a Graham residence are being investigated as a murder-suicide by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.
A 68-year-old man allegedly killed his 75-year-old female roommate who was the home’s owner, said Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Sgt. Darren Moss.
“It sounds like she was in the process of evicting him,” Moss said.
The scene is in the 2440 block of 94th Avenue East.
The call to the Sheriff’s Department came at 2:44 p.m. after a friend of the man visited the location to check on him. The friend found the pair dead and called authorities.
The Sheriff’s Department and Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office personnel were on scene Thursday night.
