PORTLAND — Three men have been indicted on murder charges in the fatal shooting of a Portland woman nearly two years ago.
The indictment handed down in April and announced Tuesday charges 22-year-old DeAnthony Simmons, 22-year-old Geontae Jones and 21-year-old Demetrius Brown.
The killing described by police as gang-related happened about an hour before sunrise on Aug. 17, 2014. Homicide detectives responded to a report of several suspects firing shots at an apartment.
Inside, they found the body of a 21-year-old Ervaeua (er-VAY-uh) Herring. She was the mother of a 1-year-old boy and in the early stages of pregnancy.
