The deputy attempted to contact the man in order to do a welfare check, but the male was uncooperative.

While checking if the man was okay, the deputy noticed a distinctive tattoo on the man's face. The deputy recalled a recent information bulletin out of Woodburn, OR for a murder suspect with a matching face tattoo.

The deputy identified the male as being the wanted murder suspect: 38-year old Isidro Patricio Aguilera Jr., of Woodburn.

Officers arrived and found a male, later identified as 27-year-old Javier Montes-Reyes, who had been shot and was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The suspect in the homicide had fled the scene prior to police arrival, and was identified as 38-year-old Isidro Aguilar Jr.
