A 25-year-old man was arrested at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in connection with a homicide last month in Tacoma.
He was booked into the Pierce County Jail for investigation of murder.
At 5:23 a.m. on July 30, officers were called to the 5300 block of South Orchard Street after a 911 caller reported two men shooting at each other in a parking lot.
Additional 911 callers later reported that one of the men had been shot and the other had fled the scene.
When police arrived, they found a 39-year-old man, later identified by the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s office as Ronnal Hines, unresponsive on the ground at a gas station. He was declared dead at the scene.
