On September 24, 2021, the body of 35-year-old Andrew Thomas Sherrell of Bend, Oregon, was found face down in an industrial area of Gresham near Northeast 189th Avenue and Northeast Portal Way. Officers reported a single gunshot wound to the head, Sherrell’s arms bound, and no wallet, phone, or identification on the body. The positioning suggested he had been kneeling at the curb when shot, described in reports as an execution-style killing.

Investigators tied the murder to the illegal drug trade. Sherrell was identified as moving and selling drugs between Central Oregon and the Portland area, and detectives say the motive was a drug debt. The investigation named five people alleged to have conspired in the killing: Cesar Estrada-Nava, Kassandra Kitchens, D’Séan Maurice Baker, Andrew Bushnell, and Christian Joshua Wobbe. Kitchens is reported to have contacted Sherrell with an offer of discounted fentanyl and to have driven the vehicle in which he was ambushed, assaulted by Baker and Bushnell, bound with zip ties, then taken to Gresham where he was killed. The suspects were later arrested and charged with murder, kidnapping, and criminal conspiracy; Kitchens had been indicted and initially eluded capture.

Are there readers who knew Sherrell or his associates or who were in the Lloyd District or Gresham that day and can help fill gaps in the timeline?
