Local Homicide Suspects Arrested in Oregon

Two Contra Costa County homicide suspects were arrested in Oregon on Wednesday evening, Oregon State Police said.

Zakari Wilson, 20, and Artie Adanandus, 24, were arrested shortly after 5 p.m. on Interstate Highway 5 near Eugene, Oregon, according to Oregon State Police.

Earlier in the day, at about 3:15 p.m., state troopers were notified that two suspects in a Contra Costa County homicide were traveling through Oregon.

Troopers located the vehicle, a black 2014 Kia Soul, at about 5 p.m. and pulled it over while shutting down Highway 5 in both directions for about 20 minutes. Both men complied with police and were taken into custody without incident, state troopers said.

Contra Costa County sheriff’s officials were not immediately available to say whether Wilson and Adanandus were homicide suspects in a sheriff’s investigation or a separate police case in the county.
