Description

LOOKINGGLASS, Ore. - One man is dead and another in custody in an apparent homicide that took place in Lookingglass Sunday.  On Sunday, October 11, 2026, shortly after 3:45 p.m., 911 dispatchers received a call from 57-year-old Matthew William Bronsert of Lookingglass requesting assistance at a residence in the 7000-block of Lookingglass Road. Bronsert lived on the property in an outbuilding. When deputies arrived, they were able to convince Bronsert to come outside to talk with them. Bronsert eventually came out of the residence at 5:53 p.m. At that time, he attempted to assault a deputy and was taken into custody. Deputies noted that Bronsert had blood on his clothing, which prompted them to conduct a welfare check on another male at the property.  When deputies entered the residence, they located a deceased adult male inside of the main residence with multiple gunshot wounds. The nature of the death appeared to be of foul play, and the victim's name is being withheld pending next of kin notification.  Bronsert was later questioned and admitted to shooting the victim. He was lodged in the Douglas County Jail on charges of Murder in the Second Degree and Unlawful Use of a Weapon.  The Douglas County Major Crimes Team was activated and is currently leading the investigation, which remains active. There is no on-going threat to the public.  The Douglas County Major Crimes Team consists of investigators from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, Roseburg Police Department and Oregon State Police working in consultation with the Douglas County District Attorney's Office.  In addition to the Major Crimes Team, assisting agencies included Lookingglass Rural Fire District, Umpqua Valley Ambulance, Sutherlin and Winston Police Departments.  The investigation is ongoing, and no additional details are expected to be released at this time. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact investigators at 541-440-4458 referencing Case #26-3196.
