The death of a woman discovered on a rural Camas property near Northeast Winters Road and Northeast 86th Street on Sunday, Oct. 9, is being investigated as a homicide. 

The Clark County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) said Tuesday, Oct. 11, that several people touring the vacant property with a real estate agent on Sunday discovered “what they believed to be a deceased person” and called 911. 

Responding deputies called for the CCSO’s Major Crimes Unit for a homicide investigation after determining the woman had what appeared to be a gunshot wound. 

Homicide detectives interviewed area residents, collected evidence and identified a possible person of interest, according to a CCSO news release. 

On Monday, Oct. 10, detectives learned that their person of interest had been found dead from an apparent suicide in Oregon.
