A Redmond man has been charged with criminally negligent homicide and is being held on a $150,000 bond after a man’s body was discovered Sunday in a campground northwest of Terrebonne.
Honorio Huerta-Vasquez, 35, was arrested Monday and arraigned Tuesday in Jefferson County Circuit Court. He was being held Tuesday afternoon in the Jefferson County jail.
The victim, Edgar Morales, was found dead next to a truck with a gunshot wound at the Skull Hollow Campground off SE Lone Pine Road, said Jefferson County Sheriff Jim Adkins.
Jefferson County District Attorney Steve Leriche sought a judge’s approval to seal documents in the case because he said release of the information could jeopardize an ongoing investigation. On Tuesday, a judge approved the request.
Huerta-Vasquez is represented by Bend attorney Ricky Nelson, who declined to comment.
Heurta-Vasquez is scheduled to be arraigned on an indictment Friday.
