A Portland man who bludgeoned a stranger to death with a cinder block was found guilty but insane Friday and sentenced to a lifetime of supervision by the state Psychiatric Security Review Board. Abel Nistor was living on the streets and off his medication, his attorney said, when he encountered 70-year-old John Garcia among the pillars supporting the Marquam Bridge about 4:30 a.m. March 22, 2024.

The crowd swelled, filling the Burnside Bridge. They took every lane, from Old Town to the Central Eastside, marching with linked arms as they crossed into the heart of Portland.

A fentanyl dealer who killed a man who was trying to rob him last year has been sentenced to five years in prison. Luis F. Gutierrez-Media had been lured to a Southwest Capitol Highway strip mall around 3 a.m. Jan. 13, 2024, to sell fentanyl-laced pills — but when he got there, he was robbed at gunpoint by two men and a woman. As they left, Gutierrez-Medina pulled out his own pistol and fired three shots into the trio’s Ford Explorer, striking 35-year-old Joshua Page in the head, court records show.
