Matthew Bigboy arrested for the ‘violent’ murder of his uncle, Eugene Bigboy
Detectives arrested a Portland man Sunday for allegedly murdering his uncle, Eugene Bigboy.
Matthew Galen Bigboy, age 22, was arrested without incident at his home, after his uncle was found dead at his home last Monday.
Officials first believed Bigboy’s death was due to medical complications, as the 61-year-old man had several health problems. An autopsy; however, suggests that Eugene Bigboy’s death was a violent one.
Details of the death were not immediately available.
“Based on the Medical Examiner’s conclusion, Homicide detectives began an investigation resulting in today’s arrest,” according to a Portland Police Bureau press release.
Matt Bigboy has been booked into Multnomah County Jail on one charge of murder.
His arraignment is set for today.
Matt Bigboy has a criminal history, including felonies. He was arrested for shooting at Sacajawea School in July 2010. One bullet went through a window but no one was hurt.
Police ask that anyone with additional information about Eugene Bigboy’s death contact Detective Anthony Merrill at 503-823-4033 or [email protected].
