A 46-year-old Monroe motel manager was beaten to death Tuesday morning after ordering a customer off the property.
Witnesses told Monroe police officers that they heard the suspect and motel manager Kenneth Wolfe yelling at each other and squaring off in the parking lot of the Brookside Motel, in the 19900 block of Highway 2, around 1 a.m., according to the police report.
Wolfe received an "uppercut" punch to his jaw, fell backward and hit the pavement, the report said. Police found the injured man on the ground motionless and bleeding from his head, the report said.
Wolfe was pronounced dead at Seattle's Harborview Medical Center at 6:24 a.m.
The suspect, whose last address was on Camano Island, fled the motel but turned himself in to authorities later in the day, the report said. The suspect is being held at the Snohomish County Jail without bail.
