Pasco A 19-year-old woman is dead this morning in Pasco — apparently the victim of domestic violence.
Pasco police are investigating the death following a deadly argument between a boyfriend and girlfriend at an apartment complex at 801 N. 22nd in Pasco, according to initial reports.
Capt. Jim Raymond said they are looking for Gregorio Luna-Luna, 31, for questioning in the woman's death that happened about 4:15 a.m. today.
The cause of the death will be determined by the Franklin County coroner after an autopsy is complete, but it's not known when that will be conducted.
Raymond did say it appears a possible "cutting instrument" was used in the attack.
Luna-Luna is 5-foot-4, 150 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information about Luna-Luna's whereabouts is asked to call Pasco police at 545-3484 or their local police department.
The Tri-City Regional SWAT team also was called out this morning to a house on North Fourth Avenue, near the vacant Airport Motel, on the east side of town.
Investigators thought Luna-Luna may be in the house, but did not find him, Raymond said. They did take two vehicles away from the scene to process for evidence.
From 1998 through May 2010, Domestic Violence Services of Benton and Franklin Counties says 28 women and two children were killed in the Tri-City area as a result of domestic violence.
Earlier this month Shenay Greenough and her unborn child were killed in Pasco.
