HERMISTON â A Boardman man is facing charges for allegedly disposing of the body of a Hermiston man found dead of a gunshot wound outside the city in March 2020, according to Umatilla County District Attorney Dan Primus.
Kevin Ricardo Melendez, 26, was arrested by Hermiston police with Rachel Cruz, 26, on May 7, after reports of trespassing. Both had warrants against them.
According to Primus, the charges against Melendez, handed down in a secret indictment from a Umatilla County Grand Jury on April 29, are related to the shooting death of Jordan Crandall, 28, who was found dead next to an irrigation ditch near Alpine Drive northeast of Hermiston in March 2020. Cruz was wanted on a separate matter, court documents show.
