In the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Multnomah County I . Court 17-CR-34550 DA 2361727?1 STATE OF OREGON, - Crime Report PP 17-163203 Plaintiff, v. AFFIDAVIT OF PROBABLE CAUSE TO SUPPORT CONTINUED DETENTION JEREMY JOSEPH CHRISTIAN OF DEFENDANT DOB: 05/01/1982 Defendant(s). I I, Ryan Lufkin, swear that I am a Deputy District Attorney for MultnomahCounty and that I have reviewed the police reports which have been ?led in this case by police officers; that the crimes charged against defendant(s) occurred in Multnomah County and that the probable cause for detention following the arrest of defendant(s) is as follows: I have spoken with Detective Michele Michaels and personally reviewed TriMet video from May 26th, 2017 and learned the following: On May 26th, 2017 at 4:19pm the defendant, Jeremiah Christian, boarded the Green Line TriMet MAX in the direction of the Clackamas Town Center at the Rose Quarter stop. Two juvenile females were already on the train. One was an African-American and one was an African-American Muslim who was wearing traditional Muslim dress. Shortly thereafter, the defendant began shOuting statements seemingly targeted at the girls and at others that included: ?Get the fuck out!? ?Pay taxes? ?Go home, we need American here!? don? care if you are ?Fuck Saudi Arabia? ?Free . speech or die? The defendant can be seen taking large drinks ?om a bladder style container Of purple liquid that is later identified by the defendant?s statements as Sangria wine. A male nearby, Mr. Forde, can be seen interacting with the defendant. According to interviews by police with Mr. Forde that I have reviewed, Mr. Forde said that he attempted to intervene and verbally deescalate the situation but was unsuccessful and the defendant continued shouting. Mr. Forde said that, among other statements, the defendant said something about ?decapitating heads?. Mr. Forde said that the juvenile female victims were clearly alarmed and move away from the defendant. Next, the defendant can be seen in TriMet video and cell phone video taken by passengers making a sudden move in the direction of victim Taliesin Namkai?Meche who responds by standing up. The defendant then stood up and placed himself in close proximity to the face of victim Taliesin Namkai?MeChe and shouted ?Oh, do something bitch!? The video then depicted victim Micah Fletcher standing up next to Taliesin Namkai?Meche whereupon the defendant, while continuing to shout ?Do something!? shoved Micah Fletcher 1n the chest. The video showed the defendant appear to pull a folded knife out of his pocket and conceal it in his hand. Micah Fletcher IS then seen shoving the defendant who stumbled and the defendant continued to conceal the knife in his right hand. The defendant stood and spoke to Micah Fletcher saying ?Hit me again? while Micah Fletcher continued to tell the defendant to get off the MAX. The video then depicted the defendant swing his right hand one motion, open the blade, and stab Micah Fletcher 1n the neck. The defendant, immediately after stabbing Micah Fletcher, turned to Taliesin Namkai-Meche and swung again stabbing Taliesin Namkai?Meche in the neck. The defendant swung again and stabbed Taliesin Namkai? Meche a Second time Ricky Best is then seen moving forward to intervene and the defendant stabbed Ricky Best. The defendant pushed Ricky Best into Taliesin Namkai?Meche, who was trying to staunch his bleeding in a seat, and then stabbed Ricky Best and Taliesin Namkai?Meche again. Meanwhile, the video depicted Micah Fletcher clutching his neck to staunch the bleeding and exit the train to receive medical attention by TriMet passengers on the platform until police and other ?rst responders arrived on scene. The video also showed that after the stabbings the defendant picked up his belongings from the train and left the MAX onto the platform at Hollywood Transit Center. The video showed that the defendant continued holding the knife out and threatened several persons on the platform before the defendant grabbed a bag dropped by the Muslim juvenile victim and the defendant threw the bag into the freeway as he exited up the stairs. I am told by Detective Michaels that after fleeing the MAX, several people alerted police to the defendant?s direction of travel and police were able to Confront the defendant several blocks away. The defendant threw the knife at the police vehicle and it bounced off the top of the vehicle to land nearby. The knife was recovered and was found to be a 3 3/1 inch folding knife The defendant was apprehended shortly thereafter. 1 AFFPC The defendant was apprehended shortly thereafter. The defendant was transported in the back seat of a police vehicle that was equipped with audio and video recording devices. Deputy District Attorney Jessica Bostwick told me that she reviewed these?videos and the defendant made the following statements during transport: just stabbed a bunch of motherfuckers in their'neck. Just a punk ass bunch of motherfuckers.? ?Get stabbed in your neck if you hate free speech.? After spitting, the defendant said ?I?m tearing out motherfucker?s throats, you think I give a fuck who I spit on.? Additionally, the defendant said can die in prison a happy man? and all good. I stabbed the two motherfuckers in the neck and I?m happy now. I?m happy now. I can rest easy.? The defendant continued, ?Thinkl stab motherfuckers in the neck for fun? Oh yeah, you?re right I do .- I?m a patriot.? The defendant explained that he said to one of the victims, told him, you ain?t. gonna heal punk. And he still wants to put hands on me. Die bitch. Fucking die. Stupid motherfucker. That?s what liberalism gets you.? The defendant continued, hope they all die. I?m gonna say that on the stand. I?m a patriot and I hope everyone I stabbed died.? I have learned from speaking with Detective Michaels that Taliesin Namkai-Meche was transported to a hospital where he died shortly after arrival. I have learned that Ricky Best died at the scene and his body was located on the train. In speaking with victim Micah Fletcher, I have learned that he was hospitalized with a stab injury to the left neck and that Micah Fletcher was told by his medical team that the injury missed being a fatal injury by millimeters. I attended autopsies performed on the victims by Medical Examiner Dr. Karen Gunson and in speaking with Dr.. Gunson I have learned that victim Taliesin Namkai?Meche suffered a stab injury along his left rear scalp, a small cut to the top of his left forehead, a small cut to the top of his left hand and a large stab wound to his left neck that was a fatal injury. I have learned the cause of death was multiple stab wounds. Ihave learned that victim Ricky Best suffered a stab injury along the right neck near the back of his skull, a Stab injury to his left cheek, and a stab injury to his left neck. Both injuries to the left and right neck were fatal injuries. I have learned that the cause of death for Ricky Best was multiple stab wounds. Additionally, I have learned that RickyBest had a fracture of the C1 vertebrae from the impact. I believe there is probable cause to believe the defendant, JEREMY JOSEPH CHRISTIAN, has committed the crime(s) of: COUNT - AGG MURDER (MULTIPLE VICTIMS), COUNT 2 - AGG MURDER (IVTIJLTELE VICTMS), COUNT 3 - ATT AGG MURDER (MULTIPLE BOTH VICS), COUNT 4 ASSAULT I, COUNT 5 UNLAWFUL USE OF A WEAPON (ATTENIPTED USE OR CARRYING), COUNT 6 UNLAWFUL USE OF A WEAPON (ATTEMPTED USE OR CARRYING), COUNT 7 - UNLAWFUL USE OF A WEAPON (ATTEMPTED USE OR CARRYING), COUNT 8 INTIMTDATION ll (THREATS HARASS INTENT) and COUNT 9 INTTMIDATION II (THREATS - HARASS INTENT).
