PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – After a gun fell through a man’s pant leg in 2023 at the St. Paul Rodeo — which was connected to a deadly Salem shooting days earlier — a man has been sentenced for his role in the incident.
On Monday, Marion County Circuit Court Judge Jodie A. Bureta sentenced 21-year-old Michael Ray Solis to 25 years in the Oregon Department of Corrections without the possibility of parole for first-degree manslaughter and unlawful use of a firearm.
The case goes back to July 1, 2023, when Salem police responded to reports of a shooting at 7 p.m. near the intersection of 17th Street and Silverton Road Northeast.
