Man arrested after another man found dead with head injuries in Aloha

BEAVERTON Ore. (KPTV) – A man is charged with murder after another man was found dead in Aloha early Wednesday morning, according to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.

Just after 6 a.m., officers responded to the 20400 block of Southwest Rachelle Court after a 53-year-old man was found dead. The victim, identified as Chad Thibodeaux of Olympia, Washington, suffered a head injury, officials said.

The Portland City Council voted unanimously to approve the revised public camping ordinance introduced last month by Mayor Ted Wheeler.

Witnesses said the suspect fled the area and gave officers a description of the man.

An officer patrolling near Southwest 185th Avenue and Southwest Tualatin Valley Highway saw and arrested the suspect just before 7 a.m

The suspect was identified as 24-year-old Austin Chan. According to deputies, Chan and Thibodeaux knew each other.

Chan was booked into the Washington County Jail and charged with second-degree murder. Deputies said he could also face additional charges.
