On a tragic Valentine's Day in 2016, Jerrid Goodpaster, a 28-year-old male, was fatally shot outside a Starbucks at Keizer Station in Keizer, Oregon. The incident stemmed from a confrontation that turned deadly, cutting short a young life and leaving a community in shock. The shooting was not a random act of violence but was connected to a planned robbery.
The investigation into Goodpaster's death quickly led law enforcement to identify a suspect. Timothy Bernard Calloway, a 25-year-old from Salem, was apprehended by the Eugene Police Department in connection with the killing. Investigators determined that the motive behind the shooting was a robbery involving marijuana. This revelation painted a clearer picture of the events that led to the fatal encounter, suggesting a deal that had gone terribly wrong.
Timothy Calloway was subsequently charged with murder, first-degree robbery, and unlawful use of a weapon. His case went to trial, and in June 2017, he was found guilty on all counts. During the sentencing, Calloway offered an apology to Jerrid Goodpaster's family, a moment witnessed by Goodpaster's wife of nearly a decade, Angela. Calloway was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the robbery-gone-wrong that resulted in the death of Jerrid Goodpaster.
