5 people charged in connection with 'execution-style murder' of Oregon man

GRESHAM, Ore. (TCD) -- Five people were arrested this week almost two months after a 35-year-old man was found bound and shot in the head.

Gresham Police said they responded to a call on Sept. 24 at 9:47 p.m. about a body that was found "partially in the roadway" on the 18900 block of NE Portal Way. The man’s death was ruled a homicide after an autopsy by the Multnomah County Medical Examiner.

The victim was later identified as Andrew Sherrell, according to KOIN-TV. Sherrell was reportedly discovered face-down with his arms bound together and had a gunshot wound to the head. KPTV-TV reports investigators determined Sherrell was kidnapped and killed in an "execution-style murder."
