The victim was shot inside a garage and four people -- 3 men and a woman -- found at the scene have been booked on homicide charges at Pierce County Jail. Prosecutors plan to decide charges on Monday.
“We have determined that the four people are related to the incident and we are questioning them as suspects,” said Green. “We don’t believe there are any other suspects at this time."
It’s difficult to tell at this point how many gunshot wounds the victim endured, Green said. The people are currently being interviewed.
