Police and deputies have arrested two people suspected of killing a man in the north Spokane County community of Elk.

The victim has not been identified.

The suspects include Jason M. Jones, 47, and Chandler Andrews, 28.

Spokane County Sheriff’s Office deputies discovered the body when responding to a “suspicious circumstance” in Elk Friday morning.

Andrews was arrested in north Spokane.

Though police blocked streets near the Garland home, both were detained without incident, according to the release.

Jones does not have a criminal record.

Police did not disclose how the victim died or any other information about the case.
