AMARILLO, TEXAS -- An Amarillo man was arrested on Wednesday on a charge of Intoxicated Manslaughter stemming from a wreck that killed a 21-year-old Canyon man in January.

Christopher Eastday was indicted on the charge by a Potter County Grand before being arrested, police said.

On January 19, 2012, police said 21-year-old Kendrick Ray Powell was killed after a four-car pileup on Interstate 40 near the US 287 split.

A 2002 Ford Mustang, which was traveling eastbound at around 9:30 p.m., crossed the center median into the westbound lanes, police said. The car was driven by then 30-year-old Christopher Easterday of Amarillo.

Police said speed and alcohol were believed to be factors in the wreck.

According to police, the median vaulted Easterday into the oncoming traffic. The Mustang struck a 2004 Nissan Frontier driven by Powell, police said.

The Mustang, officials said, then struck a 2000 Ford Ranger driven by 48-year-old Gustavo Ohara of Canyon.

The Ford Ranger was struck by a 2006 Chevy Cobalt driven by William Dillehay, 48, of Amarillo, police said.

Easterday was transported to a local hospital with life threatening injuries. Ohara and Dillehay were not injured, police added.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives. Detectives received a search warrant around 11:45 p.m. Tuesday and collected evidence at the scene. They returned Wednesday afternoon to look for clues in the daylight, Goetz said. The victim's identity had not been determined as of late Wednesday afternoon. The body was turned over to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
