No charges yet in Jimenez homicide

Umatilla County District Attorney Dan Primus said he has “no evidence” to bring a murder charge in the recent shooting death of Tony Jimenez of Pendleton.

Jimenez, 27, was attending a party March 17 at the home of Beau Welch, 31, on the Umatilla Indian Reservation, according to an FBI affidavit. Saturday morning they had a confrontation with party-goer Victor Contreras, 23, of California. Contreras opened fire, and Welch was shot in his lower left leg.
