The Federal Way Police Department (FWPD) is investigating a homicide after finding a 41-year-old man dead inside a Federal Way residence. The man’s roommate was arrested and booked as a suspect in the death, according to police.<\/p>\n
Just after 1 p.m. May 2, officers responded to a welfare check at a multi-family housing complex in the 1300 block of SW Campus Drive, according to Cmdr. Kurt Schwan of FWPD.<\/p>\n
Concerned family members were attempting to find and contact their 41-year-old brother, whom they had not heard from in a couple of days, Schwan said. While the family was at the residence — which the brother shared with his 44-year-old roommate — the family found signs of violent assault and contacted police, he said.<\/p>\n
Officers detained the roommate after a preliminary investigation. Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Section (CIS) responded to assist with the investigation.<\/p>\n
During the execution of the search warrant, detectives located the brother deceased inside the residence on the second floor.<\/p>\n
The roommate was arrested and booked at King County Jail on suspicion of second-degree murder. He has not yet been charged.<\/p>\n
The name of the deceased man is not yet available. Schwan said there is no ongoing threat to the community as it appears the suspect acted alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
