deputies arrested a man who allegedly murdered the mother of his son some time on Saturday.

The department reported on its that deputies initially got involved Saturday morning when deputies responded a caller said their daughter left that morning to pick up her son from his father’s home in University Place. But instead of their daughter returning with her son, the child’s father dropped off the boy by himself.

Since the woman’s parents were concerned for their daughter, particularly because they couldn’t reach her by phone, they reached out to law enforcement.

Deputies in University Place went to the Hillside Glenn Apartment Complex where the father lived and discovered the 40-year-old woman was dead from an apparent gunshot wound.

From there, the county’s deputies quickly took action to find and detain the suspect, a 42-year-old man who was not named in the department’s online post.
