PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - On Friday, a man accused of shooting and killing two people who police say robbed a dispensary in north Portland was found not guilty on all counts.
Jason Steiner was facing two counts of murder for the deadly shooting that happened on Oct. 3, 2024 at La Mota dispensary in the 9400 block of North St. Louis Avenue. Steiner was an employee at the dispensary at the time of the shooting.
Surveillance video showed three men inside the dispensary when Steiner, from outside, opened fire into the shop through a window. Two of the men inside died as a result.
Steiner’s lawyer argued he acted in delf defense after being threatened with a gun by one of the men.
