Former Portland Trail Blazers forward Chance Comanche has been arrested by the FBI.

Comanche, who last played for the Stockton Kings in the G-League, is charged, alongside a 19-year-old female, Sakari Harnden, with the murder of a 23-year-old woman, Marayna Rodgers, police announced on Sunday.

Rodgers' body was found in a desert area in Henderson, Nevada, after her last being seen in Las Vegas. Rodgers, who worked as a medical assistant, was visiting her friends in the area and had a pre-arranged meeting with Harnden.

"Early in the investigation, detectives suspected foul play and obtained evidence to arrest Harnden and her boyfriend Comanche for their role in the kidnapping and disappearance of Rodgers," police announced in a statement.

Harnden's bail has been set at $500,000. Meanwhile, Comanche is set to appear against a judge on Tuesday, December 19.

Comanche has played in one NBA game for the Trail Blazers last season, where he scored 7 points against the Golden State Warriors. He averaged 14 points and 7 rebounds for the Stockton Kings in the G-League this season.

In 2018, Comanche had a tryout in Partizan Belgrade but was deemed unfit to join the team, coached back then by Nenad Canak.
