AUBURN, Wash. (AP) — A SWAT team arrested two men early Monday for investigation of murder in the shooting death of a man whose body was found outside a vacant home in Auburn.

Police say the 57-year-old victim was shot in the head while riding in a car with the two men in the Des Moines area. His body was found Saturday by a contractor clearing a neighboring lot.

Police say the suspects returned to the scene Sunday, which helped lead to their arrest. They’re held in the King County Jail.
