Oregon Man Charged With Second-Degree Murder In Shooting of Black Man Who Approached His Girlfriend
Cranston was initially arrested at the scene after the shooting, but posted bail and was released hours after Washington’s death. Hummel added there is “no justification” for the use of the weapon by Cranston.
Cranston remains in county jail without bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 5 and his plea hearing is scheduled for Dec. 6. A GoFundMe page for Washington’s family has raised more than $55,000.
