A domestic violence call to a mobile home park on Longview's Mount Solo Road ended Friday night with one person dead of multiple gunshot wounds and a 24-year-old suspect booked on suspicion of second-degree murder, after a manhunt that pulled in four separate law enforcement agencies.
What began as a welfare-style domestic violence check changed almost immediately: within minutes of arriving, officers received updated information that a person inside had been shot.
