SALKUM, Wash. (AP) — A manhunt continues Monday for a man accused of killing three people at a home in the Lewis County town of Salkum.

Authorities believe 31-year-old John Allen Booth Jr., of Onalaska, may have been trying to collect on a drug debt Saturday. He’s accused of shooting 52-year-old David J. West Sr., his 16-year-old son, David Jr., both of Salkum, and 50-year-old Tony E. Williams, of Mineral.

Booth’s cell phone was tracked to Spokane Saturday but police say he is no longer believed to be in the Spokane area.
