2 Portland Teens Arrested For Attempted Murder In Hillsboro

HILLSBORO, OR — Two Portland teens were arrested over the past 24 hours on suspicion of attempted murder in Hillsboro last week, according to Hillsboro police spokesman Lt. Henry Reimann.

Cristin Octavio Magana-Ponce, 19, was arrested early Friday at his Portland residence with help from the Portland Metro Gang and Crisis Negotiation teams and Portland Special Emergency Reaction Team (SERT). He was lodged at the Washington County Jail on charges of conspiracy to commit two murders.

His 17-year-old associate, whose name will not be formally released until he's officially charged with the Measure 11 crime, was arrested Thursday night in Portland.

According to police, Hillsboro officers began their investigation Aug. 12 after being called to an apartment complex at 102 S.E 11th Pl., off East Main Street and about one block from the Hillsboro Police Department, where gunfire was reportedly heard shortly before 1:30 a.m.

Officers at the scene learned there had been a teen party at the apartments before an argument broke out between two individuals, which subsequently drew in several other people — many of whom were not invited to the residence. In an effort to diffuse the situation, the host reportedly asked the uninvited party crashers to leave.

Shortly afterward, gunfire tore through the apartment, striking two 17-year-old males multiple times, police said. Both the victims, neither of whom were affiliated with either of the instigators, were taken to Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

The two injured teens "were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They weren't even at the right party," Reimann told Patch on Friday, noting the argument that took place Aug. 12 was a continuation of an argument between the same two individuals that began a year or so earlier. Working with the aforementioned Portland police units, the Washington County Interagency Gang Enforcement Team (IGET) — led by a Hillsboro detective, Reimann said — located the shooting suspect in the 500-block of Northeast 127th Avenue, near Menlo Park Plaza in Portland. Recovered during Magana-Ponce's arrest was the weapon allegedly used in the shooting, police said. Magana-Ponce's arraignment date was pending at the time of this writing. Reimann said some of the involved juveniles may have gang affiliations, but the crime itself is not being considered gang related at this time. The investigation is ongoing, and this post will be updated when more information is available.

Los Arboles Apartments - 17 Photos - Apartments - 201 4th St, Del Mar, Del Mar, CA - Phone Number

8 201 4th St Del Mar , CA 92014 (858) 481-9585 Been here for 5 months now. These are definitely old apartments; the floorplans aren't modern or laid out super efficiently. But if you want to live within line-of-sight to the ocean, this place is as affordable as it gets. The manager is hands-down one of the nicest dudes I've met and has been extremely accommodating to us. Although the property is old, it's clean and decently kept up. The pool and hot tub are nice. We're on the 2nd floor in a corner unit and it's been very quiet for us. We haven't had any issues with bugs or vermin of any sort; in fact, we keep our porch door wide open all day long so our kitties can get some fresh air. This results in maybe 1 fly per day inside. There are surfer trails very nearby that lead down the cliffs for beach access. Bottom line, if you're looking for luxury, don't live here. It's too old to ever be luxurious. But if you're looking for line-of-sight to t...

Charlotte affordable housing forum raises possible solutions

There’s a big demand for more affordable housing in Charlotte, where rents and home prices have shot up much faster than wages over the past few years. Many of the apartments being built now target more affluent renters, waitlists for housing vouchers are long and starter homes are snapped up almost immediately. So why aren’t developers building more affordable housing ? That was one of the main questions at a candidate education panel hosted by the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association on Friday, where about two dozen candidates for Charlotte City Council turned out to learn some of the basics on a complicated subject. “ Affordable housing is one of the topics you’ll talk about a lot,” Bryan Holladay, who supervises the group’s government affairs outreach , told the candidates. The subject is an alphabet soup of acronyms (like NOAH, or “ Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing ”) and overlapping terms and definitions. Sometimes when people say “ affordable housing ” they mean go...

Fairway Park Luxury Apartments spoils tenants with superior concierge services

Cain Fatica, Fairway Park Luxury Apartments , Copley | Amanda Gardner, Fairway Park Luxury Apartments How many tenants spend some of their free time in their apartment building’s leasing office just because it is such a great place?  Residents of the Fairway Park Luxury Apartments in Copley consider their leasing office to be part coffee shop and part lodge. The Starbucks coffee is always hot, and a fireplace keeps things cozy in cold or damp weather.  “I’ll just sit there sometimes and read the paper or one of the magazines they have, like Bon Appetit. Sometimes the office staff puts out recipes that we can try,” said tenant Cain Fatica . “I enjoy cooking. My brother is a chef, but I don’t get to cook as much as I’d like to. But it’s fun to taste new recipes. In the office, it’s like your family trading recipes .” Fatica, a graduate of the University of Akron with a major in biology, has lived in the complex a total of two years. He moved once, but came back because “compared to al...
