Kassab is also presently charged with the stabbing assault and attempted murder of another victim on February 9, 2024 (24-CR-09504).

Case Facts

On the morning of December 26, 2023, Gresham Police were notified of an unresponsive individual found near the intersection of SE 190^th Ave. and SE Division St. The victim–quickly determined to be Cody Funk– had been experiencing homelessness at the time of his murder. An autopsy indicated that he had died from multiple stab wounds. Investigators with the Gresham Police Department and the East Multnomah County Major Crimes Team diligently collected and reviewed evidence in the case to identify a suspect.

Indictment

The case was referred to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office for review. Upon consideration of the evidence provided by law enforcement, DDA Sean Hughey presented the case to a grand jury, which returned a true bill of indictment on April 12, 2024, for the following charges:

• Murder II 
• Unlawful use of a weapon
   

Please note that a charging document is only an accusation of a crime. Kassab is innocent unless and until proven guilty.
