Two Oregon teens are facing murder and robbery charges after allegedly shooting and killing a man who tried to intervene when they robbed a grocery store.

Police received reports of gunshots at a Fred Meyer grocery store in Portland's Hazelwood neighborhood around 3:50 p.m. on Jan. 13., the Portland Police Bureau wrote in a press release.

There, they found 47-year-old Jonathan Trent on the ground with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead, according to local station KOIN.

"The initial investigation suggests that Trent was shot after witnessing a robbery and attempting to stop the suspect," the police wrote in their press release.

In an update shared on Jan. 23, police announced that they arrested a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old on murder and robbery charges in connection with the incident. Another 15-year-old, who knows the other two teens, was arrested for a separate Jan. 1 robbery. 

Police believe the 16-year-old was involved in a string of four other robberies that took place in the area during the first two weeks of the year. 

PORTLAND POLICE TO DISBAND PROPERTY CRIMES UNIT, CITING STAFFING ISSUES: 'NOT UP TO OUR AUTHORIZED STRENGTH'

Sgt. Matt Jacobsen of the police department's major crimes unit told KPTV that investigators arrested the teens after learning that several crimes that occurred in the area in the 48 hours after the shooting were all related.

"Throughout the course of the investigation, we’re able to identify five events that were related to this group," he said. "This type of crime with these youths is fairly uncommon. Unfortunately, guns are available in this community and it's deeply concerning to see youth of this age, armed with firearms."

The Multnomah County District Attorney's Office is deciding whether the two teens charged with murder will be tried as adults, KPTV reported. Fox News Digital could not reach the office for comment at press time. 

The three teens, whose identities have not been released due to their minor status, are all being held at Donald E. Long Juvenile Detention Facility.

A GoFundMe initiative was launched to help the man's son and his son's mother in the wake of his death.

"Jon was a man of warmth, kindness, and joy who brought light to everyone around him," a friend who organized the fundraiser wrote on the page. "He was a constant presence at the pool, supporting [his son] and inspiring our community with his positivity and generous spirit... His loss has left a profound void in our hearts and the lives of those who knew him."

Two men from Portland died searching for Sasquatch during Christmas week, according to officials.

Around 1 a.m. on Christmas Day, Skamania County Communications Center received a report from a family member of two people who were searching for Sasquatch and were missing after they had planned to return home on Dec. 24, according to the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO).

A "flock camera," also known as a license plate reader, located the men's car off of Oklahoma Road, near Willard, Washington, SCSO said.

Over three days, search and rescue resources, including more than 60 volunteers, canines, drones and ground search teams and a U.S. Coast Guard air asset searched for the men.

"After a grueling, three-day search over difficult terrain and harsh weather conditions, the 59-year-old male and 37-year-old-male, both from Portland, Oregon, who were reported missing/endangered were located, deceased, in a heavily wooded area of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest," the sheriff's office said on Facebook.

"Both deaths appear to be due to exposure, based on weather conditions and ill-preparedness," SCSO added.

The sheriff's office thanked the volunteers who spent Christmas week searching for the men through "freezing temperatures, snow, high water levels, heavy rain, downfall, and heavily wooded terrain," allowing the men to be taken home to their family. 

"The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office extends our deepest sympathies and condolences to the families of the loved ones lost in this tragic incident," SCSO said.

The men's names were not released. 

Back in 2019, a Travel Channel blog post said Washington was the "world's most active region" for Sasquatch sightings. Of particular note were the Blue Mountains and Okanogan County, which the Travel Channel wrote is "the locale of one of the most aggressive Bigfoot encounters ever recorded."
