A man accused in the shooting death of a woman outside her Lake Tapps home told deputies the victim was shot during a scuffle over a handgun but denies pulling the trigger.
Pierce County prosecutors believe he’s responsible for the woman’s death. Jason Arnold, 38, was charged Friday in Pierce County Superior Court with two counts of second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter and first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm.
When deputies arrived at the victim’s residence, they found the woman with a gunshot wound to her chest and a gun in her hand. Based on video from a neighbor’s surveillance camera and a witness statement, prosecutors believe Arnold shot the woman, then placed the handgun in her left hand. According to charging documents, Arnold was with the victim at the residence after being released from prison Wednesday. A witness to the shooting who knows Arnold received a call from him asking her to pick him up.
The witness left the victim’s side to flag down deputies when they arrived, and when she returned, she saw the gun in the victim’s hand. She told investigators she never really saw who had the gun when the shooting occurred, but she believed Arnold shot her.
