The alleged perpetrator and victims of Friday’s violence in North Bend have all been identified.
North Bend Police say 30-year-old Oen Evan Nicholson is their murder suspect at large. And authorities say Charles Simms Nicholson was found dead in a trailer at the Mills Casino RV Park, and may be the alleged murderer's father. The elder Nicholson's pickup truck was used in Friday's hit-and-run and escape.
74 year-old Anthony Oyster was killed after being run over by the truck at the RV Park. His wife, 73 year-old Linda Oyster, was also hit and remains in critical condition. Both are from Florida.
That same morning, 47 year-old Jennifer Davidson of Coos Bay was found shot to death at the Herbal Choices Marijuana Dispensary.
Surveillance video at a North Bend sporting goods store appears to show Nicholson purchasing ammunition before leaving the area.
A manhunt across Lane County followed the truck’s discovery near Noti Friday afternoon. It had been set on fire.
So far, Nicholson has not been apprehended. He’s described as a white man standing 6 feet, 2 inches, with short hair and weighing 200-lbs. He was last seen wearing a dark shirt and blue jeans.
He’s considered armed and dangerous. Authorities warn that anyone seeing him should call 911 and avoid contact.
