A Hermiston man is in jail after a shooting early Sunday, Dec. 19, left another man dead.

Hermiston police at about 1:24 a.m. responded to a report of a man who may have been shot in the parking lot of Metro Mart, 1120 W. Highland Ave., according to information Hermiston police Capt. Travis Eynon posted on the department’s Facebook page. Officers arrived and found Kevin James Hines, 27, of Hermiston, unresponsive and not breathing.

Umatilla County Fire District No. 1 medics arrived shortly after and “worked valiantly” on Hines, according to the post, but he died at the scene.

The local major crimes team responded with detectives from Boardman Police Department, Morrow County Sheriff’s Office, Umatilla Police Department, Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office, Pendleton Police Department and Umatilla Tribal Police Department. Those detectives and Hermiston police detectives and officers worked through the night investigating the crime.

Police at about 8:05 a.m. arrested Ethan Matthew Bowe, 23, at his Hermiston residence and booked him into the Umatilla County Jail, Pendeton, for first-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon and tampering with evidence.

“This was not random,” according to Eynon’s post, “and there is no reason to believe anyone else is in danger.”

Bowe remains in jail in lieu of $15,000 bail. He has a probable cause preliminary hearing Dec. 28, 8:15 a.m. in Courtroom 5 in the Umatilla County Circuit Court, Hermiston.
