A 52-year-old man was shot and killed in Spanaway on Saturday after he and a homeowner argued over the price of tile work he was contracted to do.
Pierce County Sheriff deputies responded to a shooting Saturday evening in 1800 block of 150th St. S. in Spanaway.
A man was found deceased inside the home.
Deputies determined the homeowner shot and killed the contractor after an argument over price. The contractor had been working for a few days and the project was taking longer than expected, causing an increase in price, said Pierce County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Sgt. Darren Moss.
The 62-year-old homeowner was booked into the Pierce County Jail on suspicion of murder.
Police were still interviewing the homeowner Saturday evening.
