Portland woman arrested in Gresham, accused of killing woman near Turner in 2024

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A Portland woman was arrested for allegedly murdering another woman outside Turner, Oregon back in November, authorities said.

Shanika Strickland, 32, was arrested on Tuesday night in Gresham and is accused of second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office said.

This comes after the sheriff’s office announced a “suspicious death” discovered on Nov. 2, 2024, at 11:34 a.m. after responding near the 4700 block of Delaney Road Southeast outside Turner. The person was identified as 26-year-old Jada Thompson.
