The same day he was released from jail, a Washington state man allegedly beat a drug dealer to death with a 34-pound air compressor and chair.

Christopher Charles Reyes, 47, faces charges of first-degree murder in the death of William Akers, 56, court documents said.

The case came to light on Nov. 27 when police were dispatched to a residence in the 7400 block of South Oakes Street in Tacoma on a 911 call of “unknown trouble,” court documents said.
