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 grocery store on Northeast 102nd Avenue in the Hazelwood neighborhood of northeast Portland on Jan. 13 when he witnessed a mugging taking place outside, as reported by the Portland Police Department.

Then, the gunshots rang out.

Two teenagers, aged 15 and 16, have been taken into custody in a juvenile detention center on charges of murder and robbery, according to the police. The identities of the teenagers have not been disclosed at this time.
