Gresham, Ore.— A Gresham man has been charged with murder for the December 2023 killing of Cody Funk. Funk’s body was found near the intersection of SE 190th Ave. and SE Division St. on the morning of December 26, 2023. An autopsy determined he died of multiple stab wounds. Funk was experiencing homelessness when he was killed.
Investigators with the Gresham Police Department and the East Multnomah County Major Crimes Team have been collecting and reviewing evidence in the case. Their findings were presented to a Grand Jury last Friday. As a result, 20-year-old Antony Kassab, of Gresham, was charged with Murder in the Second Degree and Unlawful Use of a Weapon.
Kassab was already in custody, charged with Attempted Murder for stabbing David McQuown in February 2024. McQuown was also homeless at the time he was attacked.
“This suspect targeted particularly vulnerable members of the community. His behavior has no place in Gresham. Our detectives worked tirelessly to seek justice for Mr. Funk and Mr. McQuown,” said Police Chief Travis Gullberg.
Housing and houselessness support are priorities for the City of Gresham. Gresham operates a homeless services program, which connects people experiencing homelessness with resources.
