A Jay County man is set to plead guilty this week in the September 2008 slaying of a Portland man. 21-year-old Roderick Berry of Dunkirk could serve 30 years for robbing and beating Shawn Buckner. Buckner was attacked by berry and four other suspects after they allegedly lured him to an apartment. There, they robbed and beat him, then drove him to a cornfield where he was repeatedly stabbed. two days later, prosecutors say berry and another man moved Buckner‘s remains to a wooded area near Dunkirk – where police found it.
