A man lost his life at Fred Meyer while attempting to intervene in a purse theft

An Oregon man died trying to stop a purse-snatching, and now two teenagers are behind bars, according to police in the Beaver State.

Jonathan Trent, a 47-year-old man, was at the Fred Meyer supermarket on Northeast 102nd Avenue in the Hazelwood neighborhood of northeast Portland on Jan. 13 when he came across a mugging happening outside, as reported by the Portland Police Department.

Then, the gunshots rang out.

By 3:50 p.m., officers arrived to find Trent in the parking lot. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
