Posted: February 19th, 2010 12:06 AM
RELEASE DATE: February 18, 2010
CONTACT PERSON: Sgt Rick Wilson
CASE NUMBER: 10-1960
On February 18, 2010 at 9:11 pm Gresham Police were called to check the welfare of an individual at 142 NE 192nd. Upon arrival Police learned that a male inside the residence had called a family member saying he was being held there at gunpoint. When this family member went to check the welfare of this person he was greeted at the front door by the resident. He looked inside and saw his family member apparently deceased in a chair. Gresham Police made contact with the resident and were able to convince him to come out. We then entered the residence finding a deceased male inside.
There is a language barrier and the information is slow in coming. The resident is being detained at this hour and is speaking with detectives with the help of an interpreter. Detectives will be working on this throughout the morning. There are no other persons of interest or suspects being looked for. Cause of death is not immediately known and will most likely be determined later in the morning by the Medical Examiner. Names will not be released until family members have been notified.
