Man arrested for killing man found dead in Plano home, police say

A man faces murder charges in the killing of another man who was found dead in a Plano home on Tuesday, police said.

Officers arrested Andrew James Swetland, 39, of Los Angeles, in connection with the killing of 69-year-old Patrick King of Elburn, Illinois, police said. It is unclear if Swetland has an attorney.

Police officers and firefighters responded to a report of a dead person at a home in the 4600 block of Bending Oak Trail, near Palm Valley Drive and Robinson Road, around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. They found King, who was pronounced dead inside the home.

Swetland was arrested around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, police said. Police did not provide further information, including how King was believed to have been killed or what evidence might have led them to identify Swetland as a suspect.

The investigation is ongoing.
