A suspect wanted in connection to the murder of a mother of seven was arrested after leading Tacoma Police on a chase through Gig Harbor on Tuesday.
On March 26, officers saw 33-year-old suspect, Apeu Sone Tauanuu, driving in the south end of Tacoma. When they tried to stop him, he sped off, leading officers in a pursuit onto State Route 16. Tauanuu finally pulled off at Gig Harbor where he was taken into custody without incident. Police say Tauanuu was wanted for a Dec. 18 homicide, where 31-year-old Ngaire Tusi was found beaten and shot in the head.
Family members say Tusi was a good person and well-known in her community. They say she was the type of person that would try to solve other people's problems and would often try to mediate for people or "talk them down" if they were frustrated. Late December, her sister issued the following statement to FOX 13:"Ngaire was loved, respected and well known in the community. Her murder was absolutely senseless and uncalled for.
