Update: Arrest made in mid-October Gresham shooting

UPDATE: 11/4/25

Early on November 4, Gresham detectives and members of East Metro SWAT served a warrant at a residence in the 2300 block of SE 7th Street and arrested 27-year-old Christopher Hernandez for attempted murder in the second degree, assault in the first degree, and unlawful use of a weapon.

Hernandez' arrest stems from a shooting that occurred in Gresham in mid-October. On October 19, Hernandez and several associates were involved in a disturbance at sports bar in the 1500 block of NE Division Street. The disturbance moved to the parking lot, where Herandez and several associates assaulted a patron of the bar. The severity of the assault prompted an uninvolved community member to intervene. Hernandez shot at the intervening person; however, he missed and struck Myranda Rice, an innocent bystander. Rice suffered serious injuries and was transported to a hospital for treatment.

The investigation is ongoing and additional arrests are possible. Anyone with information about the fight or subsequent shooting can email Detective Tyson Conroy at [email protected] or call the tip line at 503-618-2719.
