The deaths of two people found Thursday afternoon at a Graham residence are being investigated as a murder-suicide by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department.

A 68-year-old man allegedly killed his 75-year-old female roommate who was the home’s owner, said Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Sgt. Darren Moss.

“It sounds like she was in the process of evicting him,” Moss said.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a murder-suicide in Graham Thursday evening. The scene is in the 2440 block of 94th Avenue East.
