HOMICIDE WARRANT: After hearing of a suspicious vehicle parked at 4:35 a.m. Aug. 16 in the vicinity of North Third Street and Dundass Avenue, police contacted a 28-year-old man from Enumclaw and 33-year-old man from Tukwila. The two reported they were out of gas and waiting for a third person to arrive with fuel. The 28-year-old was found to have multiple arrest warrants out of California; the man was arrested and first taken to the Enumclaw jail, then moved to the Pierce County jail to await extradition. It was later learned the man had lied about his name, but was still being held due to an outstanding California arrest warrant for homicide.
