SALKUM, Wash. (AP) — A man believed to be connected with the triple-killing in Lewis County last weekend has been arrested in Redmond, Wash.
Washington state Department of Corrections officials told KOMO-TV that Ryan J. McCarthy was arrested for a parole violation because of his possible involvement in the triple homicide. Officials would not say what role McCarthy is suspected of playing in the murders or how they located him.
A manhunt continues 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.
