UMATILLA COUNTY — The man accused of shooting and killing a man from Hood River outside of Hermiston in June waived his extradition rights from Washington last week. But Umatilla County District Attorney Dan Primus said it may be a bit longer before the suspect returns to Umatilla County.

Jaime Ubay-Farfan, 24, is accused of killing Tracey Scott Medows on June 20 near Lamb Road and Interstate 82 outside Hermiston. He is at the Benton County Jail in Kennewick, Washington, on fugitive and second-degree assault charges following his arrest for his alleged role in a road-rage incident on June 7.

Primus said Ubay-Farfan won’t be transported and prosecution can’t begin until Benton County either releases him from those charges or they are resolved legally.

According to Primus, a Umatilla County grand jury indicted Ubay-Farfan on June 30 on one count each of second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, pointing a firearm at another person and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
