The Oregon State Police was investigating a homicide that occurred late last week near Cave Junction.
Trusted sources said a person died of a gunshot wound in the 28,000-block of US Highway 199 on Friday and an arrest was made.
Josephine County Jail records show 57-year-old Michael Orentlicher was booked on felony charges of 2nd-Degree Murder and Unlawful Use of a Weapon. He was held without bail over the weekend and was arraigned in Josephine County Circuit Court on Monday.
During the arraignment, the deceased was identified as 35-year-old Theadore Crowly.
The Sheriff's Office and American Medical Response were initially dispatched to the shooting. The investigation was then handed off to the Oregon State Police.
OSP has so far not released any information on the incident, nor have any details been officially released by the Sheriff's Office. However, sources said the shooting started as a trespass call and Crowly was shot near the fence line of the property.
A chaplain was called in after Crowly was pronounced deceased.
