Gresham, Ore.—Gresham Police detectives have made an arrest in the June 2024 homicide of 76-year-old William “Tom” Vaughn. Vaughn, a veteran and longtime Gresham resident, was found deceased when officers conducted a welfare check on the night of June 17, 2024, in the 21000 block of SE Stark Street.

An autopsy determined Vaughn died from multiple gunshot wounds, and his death was ruled a homicide.
On July 22, a Multnomah County grand jury indicted Randy Saiville, 62, of Gresham on Murder in the First Degree and other related charges. Saiville lived in the same residential community as Vaughn.

This morning, members of the East Metro SWAT team arrested Saiville in the area of his residence on the outstanding warrant issued after the indictment.
