The murder case in the 2022 shooting death of South Waterfront security guard Sircharles Jones was dismissed by Multnomah County prosecutors on Friday, although they provided no explanation for their decision.
On May 22, 2022, Jones was shot and killed while on patrol outside the Marriott Residence Inn. He was 22 years old at the time. When officials captured Cedric Washington and accused him with second-degree murder, the case had been unresolved for more than a year.
