Suspect in fatal park shooting apprehended

Camerino Vides, wanted in connection with the 2025 murder in Vance Park, was apprehended in Spokane, Washington.

On January 23, 2025, shortly after 4:00 pm, Jorge Ovidio Mateo Vasquez, 17-years-old, was shot and killed in an apparent unprovoked attack while playing on the futsal court in Vance Park.

Detectives released the suspect's name and picture on March 13, 2025, asking for the public's assistance with locating him. Detectives renewed that appeal on the one-year anniversary of Jorge's murder.

On Tuesday, authorities in Spokane identified a suspect in custody on unrelated charges as Camerino Vides. Gresham Police detectives worked with Spokane law enforcement to confirm his identity. Vides is being held pending extradition to Oregon.

"We're grateful to our detectives, our law enforcement partners in Spokane, and everyone who shared information that helped keep this case in the public eye," said Chief Travis Gullberg. "This arrest brings us one step closer to justice for Jorge and his family."
