ROYAL CITY, Wash. — A Royal City man is in custody after allegedly shooting his father in the head on Wednesday morning, according to the Grant County Sheriff's Office.
Jesus Torres Flores, 58, was found dead inside a car on the family home's driveway early Wednesday morning, according to the sheriff's office. Jonathan Torres, 21, is in custody.
Detectives said Jonathan Torres was riding in the back seat of a vehicle driven by his mother while his father sat in the front seat.
