Pierce County Superior Court's first Latino judge has died
Feb. 2—The first Hispanic/Latino person to serve on the Pierce County Superior Court bench has died, the county announced.
Sergio Armijo was 75. The county did not disclose his cause of death.
Armijo served as a Pierce County Superior Court judge in Department 9 for 15 years.
From 1994 to 2009, Armijo ruled in several notable cases, including a 1998 murder case involving a 23-year-old man accused of killing his boss and a land-use decision to preserve Eatonville park land.
