Zaragoza Indicted On Murder Charge

The suspect in a shooting in The Dalles early Saturday morning has been indicted by a Wasco County Grand Jury on second degree murder and other charges.  District Attorney Matthew Ellis says 23-year-old Noe Zaragoza, Jr. was indicted after he waived extradition from Vancouver, where he was being held after being taken into custody in Clark County for the shooting death of 41-year-old Michael Boyer   Ellis says early last Saturday morning Zaragoza allegedly entered the Walnut Street Center Market and engaged in a confrontation with a patron.  During that altercation, Boyer’s wife, Mariah Herrnandez stepped into defend that person, and Zaragoza pulled a firearm and pointed it at Hernandez, who then slapped the firearm.  Ellis says Zaragoza then struck Hernandez in the side of the face with firearm, and when Boyer stepped in to defend his wife, Zargoza shot Boyer twice before fleeing.  Zaragoza was arrested at a Camas hotel later that day, and a firearm was located in the room.  Along with second degree murder charge, Zaragoza was also indicted on two counts of unlawful use of a weapon with a firearm, menacing, and assault in the fourth degree.  Zaragoza is currently in custody at NORCOR, and will be arraigned on Monday.
