Description

ROSEBURG, Ore. - On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, just after midnight, deputies responded to the 2200-block of Colonial Road following reports of a disturbance involving multiple gunshots. When deputies located the location they determined the residence was vacant. No individuals were found at the scene; however, deputies observed multiple empty beer cans and other indications that a gathering had recently taken place. A short time later, law enforcement was notified that three individuals were at Mercy Medical Center in the emergency department seeking treatment for injuries sustained during the incident. The individuals were identified as 21-year-old Beto Cortez of Coos Bay, 21-year-old Christopher Bocanegra of North Bend, and 21-year-old Carlos Lopez of Roseburg. According to the three victims, they learned about a party at the residence through social media and attended the gathering. During the event, Cortez was approached by a male who accused him of stealing. The confrontation escalated when the male swung at Cortez, resulting in a physical altercation between the two. The victims reported that approximately 10 additional people then joined the altercation. Bocanegra and Lopez attempted to intervene and separate Cortez from the group but were also assaulted by multiple individuals. After breaking free from the crowd, the three victims fled to their vehicle at which point multiple gunshots were heard. The investigation into this incident remains active. Anyone with information regarding the disturbance or the individuals involved is encouraged to contact the Sheriff's Office referencing case #26-2012. The Sheriff's Office was assisted by the Oregon State Police.
