PORTLAND, Ore. -- Two homeless men were arrested Monday in connection with the stabbing death of 43-year-old Marc Sundin in downtown Portland.
Police responding to an assault call at 2:25 a.m. on October 16 found Sundin dead on the corner of Southwest 4th Avenue and Madison Street.
He died of a stab wound to the chest, a medical examiner later determined.
Homicide detectives found probable cause to arrest 18-year-old Wesley Lawrence Curtis (pictured, left) and 23-year-old Adam Lawrence Elder, said Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson.
Both men are homeless and were found and arrested separately on downtown Portland sidewalks Monday, Simpson said.
Curtis was jailed on a murder charge.
Elder was initially facing charges of third-degree assault, conspiracy to commit first-degree assault, and failure to register as a sex offender. But those charges were dropped.
Anyone with information about this homicide was asked to call Det. Erik Kammerer at 503-823-0762 or send an email to erik.kammerer@portlandoregon.gov.
