EVERETT – The man suspected in Monday’s south Everett shooting death turned himself into police this afternoon.
James Richard Prizmich, 45, was arrested at 3:45 p.m. in downtown Everett without incident in the company of his lawyer, Everett police Sgt. Robert Goetz said.
Prizmich is expected to be booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of second-degree murder, Goetz said.
Detectives believe Prizmich is responsible for killing Cory Hamilton, 38, early Monday in front of a home in the 2400 block of 75th Street SE.
On Thursday, police released Prizmich’s photo and described the convicted felon as armed and dangerous.
“We’re relieved that he’s off the streets,” Goetz said.
