An 18-year-old Everett-area man was arrested late today in connection with the shooting death Monday of a 19-year-old man in a Stanwood home.

The suspect is expected to be booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of first-degree murder, according to a sheriff's spokeswoman.

The victim has been identified by family members as Nicholas Desimone, of Everett.

Sheriff's deputies were called to a home in the 19300 block of 96th Avenue Northwest shortly before 5 a.m. Monday, when a woman reported waking up to find her boyfriend wasn't breathing. Officers discovered the man was dead, with obvious signs of trauma to his body, according to the Sheriff's Office. Other family members of the girlfriend were in the house when the victim was discovered. Desimone graduated from Mariner High School in 2006, according to a Mukilteo School District spokesman.
