MAMARONECK, NY — The man stabbed and killed by his brother last week at an apartment on Richbell Road was hospitalized in Oregon almost six years ago following an incident in a park just outside Bend, Oregon.
Talk of the Sound has confirmed that the victim, Schuyler Stephen Werner, then 20, was taken into custody by deputies of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office on May 31, 2015, at Shevlin Park, a 981 acre preserve just outside Bend known for its hiking and jogging trails.
According to his Facebook profile, Schuyler Werner attended Central Oregon Community College where he majored in Psychology.
Deputies responded to a 911 call at 8:50 a.m. from a woman who was jogging in Shevlin Park. She told deputies that Werner began cursing and threatened to kill her after she asked him if he was OK.
At 9:14 a.m., a second woman reported a man in the Fremont Meadow area of the park “fully nude and yelling and babbling”.
