Summary
Seaside police shot and killed 24-year-old Hayes McCloud on Wednesday, ending the Pierce County Sheriff's search for a man identified earlier that day as a person of interest in two homicides.
Pierce County investigators had warned McCloud was armed and dangerous and believed he was driving a silver 1996 Toyota 4Runner with Washington plate CWW5132 before the Oregon encounter.
The first homicide was reported at 2:40 a.m. near Puyallup, where deputies found a 35-year-old man dead at a home after violence that began in a bedroom and extended outside.
About 30 minutes later in Tacoma, police found another man dead with apparent gunshot wounds near East 69th Street and East D Street; detectives still have not determined where he was shot.
Authorities have not detailed what led Seaside officers to open fire, and both Pierce County homicide investigations remain active as officials seek tips.
