Teen charged in fatal New Year's Eve shooting
By Associated PressGRESHAM, Ore. (AP) - A teenager was arrested following a gang-related shooting spree that left two 18-year-olds dead on New Year's Eve, Gresham police said early Friday. Raymond Andrew Lawrence, 17, of Portland was charged with murder and his bail set at $250,000, Officer Adam Baker said. Baker said detectives are continuing the investigation, but no suspects are outstanding in the shootings that occurred a few hours before 2009 at a Gresham apartment complex. Darius Jerrel Perry was found in a street shortly after one resident of the Barberry Village apartments reported hearing gunshots and another said people were firing guns as they ran through the complex. Medics attempted to save Perry, but he died at the scene. As police canvassed the neighborhood, they discovered the body of Willy Lewis Butler behind an apartment complex north of Barberry Village. Autopsies confirmed both Portland men died of gunshot wounds, police said. (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) |
