The Lewis County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a 31-year-old man they say is armed and extremely dangerous after discovering a triple homicide overnight in Salkum.
Deputies were called about 2 o’clock this morning to a report of shots fired inside a Salkum home and found three people dead inside and one person critically wounded, according to a news release.
John Allen Booth Jr., 31, from Onalaska may be driving a blue or teal 1988 Dodge Diplomat. Its license plate reads 550 YFA.
The injured person, whose age and sex were not released, was flown by helicopter an undisclosed place or hospital.
Sheriff Steve Mansfield said they think this is a drug-related homicide and they need to get Booth’s picture out to the public.
“He’s armed, he’s dangerous, it’s an ugly deal,” Mansfield said.
The sheriff’s office is asking anyone with information to call 911 immediately or call Lewis County Crime Stoppers. A $1,000 reward is being offered.
