Police Investigating Homicide in Sweetwater

Sweetwater, TN (WOKI) An investigation is underway in Sweetwater after a man is shot to death inside his residence.

Officials with the Sweetwater Police Department say officers responded Monday to a reported fight in the 100 block of Powell Avenue where an armed man, identified as Tony Paramo, surrendered to police stating that a shooting had taken place inside the home.

Inside, officers found a man dead and an intoxicated man. SPD says the intoxicated man, Christian Perez-Sanchez, “resisted arrest during detention” and was charged with resisting arrest.

SPD says detectives determined an argument between roommates escalated, leading to Paramo “fatally shooting one of his roommates,” a 23-year-old Hispanic man.

Paramo has been charged with first-degree murder, felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony.

SPD says the investigation is ongoing and further charges are pending. The department adds that all suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
