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."
Oregon Live reports Gresham Police said, "The investigation found he was the target of a kidnapping and execution-style murder because of a drug debt, with multiple suspects conspiring to commit the felonious acts."
According to KPTV, on Wednesday, a Multnomah County Circuit Court grand jury indicted five people they believe were connected to Sherrell’s killing.
Thirty-one-year-old Cesar Estrada-Nava was charged with second-degree murder, criminal conspiracy to commit murder, kidnapping, criminal conspiracy to commit kidnapping, assault, and conspiracy to unlawfully deliver oxycodone.
