OREGON — A 25-year-old Mt. Morris man was visiting his mother’s apartment to see his dog April 21 when his stepfather fatally shot him, according to an Ogle County detective.
Ogle County Detective Chad Gallick testified Wednesday, April 30, that autopsy results showed Cameron Pasley had suffered four gunshot wounds to his torso, one to his abdomen and one to his hand prior to his death. Derek Swanlund, 44, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one misdemeanor weapons charge in connection with Pasley’s death.
Swanlund appeared in court Wednesday morning for a preliminary hearing, escorted into a courtroom of the Ogle County Judicial Center wearing shackles and dressed in an orange jumpsuit issued to Ogle County Jail inmates.
