Tacoma Fire medics responded around 7:30 p.m. Jan. 10 to reports of a woman who hasn’t breathing inside a home, police said.
The 31-year-old male suspect was detained and later booked into Pierce County Jail for investigation of first degree assault.
When they arrived, medics were told the woman had been injured in a physical dispute with the father of her children. The 27-year-old woman was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The woman died of her injuries five days later, and police are now investigating it as a homicide.
