Federal and state officers in Washington state took Orlando Lee Pouncey, 29, into custody Monday evening at a relative’s home in Spanaway.
Pouncey is accused of murder in the death of Jerry Duy Nguyen, 37, of Beaverton.

Tigard police described Pouncey as a friend of the mother. They said he lived nearby in the Portland suburb and ran away after the shooting.
Authorities haven’t described a motive for the shooting.
Police said Tuesday it hadn’t been determined when Pouncey would be returned to Oregon.
