Andrew Cordes, 30, was shot four times and killed in the early morning hours of July 25, 2015, at a residence on Northeast Nova Loop in Bend, Oregon. The house belonged to Daniel Norquist, who was Cordes’ landlord and a long-time friend. Both men were intoxicated at the time. Bend Police detectives were called to the scene and Norquist was detained and arrested that morning on a murder charge.

As detectives and Deschutes County prosecutors prepared the case, additional evidence surfaced that supported Norquist’s claim of self-defense. That evidence included the results of a polygraph Norquist agreed to take and other materials presented to a grand jury beginning July 28, 2015. District Attorney John Hummel filed a motion to dismiss the case, saying the newly developed evidence left prosecutors unable to overcome the self-defense claim. The family remembers Cordes as a young man with hopes and dreams for a wonderful life.

Does anyone have information about Cordes’ last days or about the events at the Northeast Nova Loop residence on July 25, 2015?
