Oregon teen gunned down in hotel parking lot following dispute over loud music
A dispute over loud music ended with a 47-year-old Oregon man fatally shooting a Black teenager in a hotel parking lot just days before Thanksgiving, police said.
Aidan Ellison, 19, was staying at the hotel with his friend Sara Jones and her cousin when the young man couldn't sleep that night.
"I gave Aidan my car keys to listen to music," Jones, 35, told NBC News on Monday.
While the deadly dispute may have started over loud music, Ashland Police Chief Tighe O'Meara said in a statement that this tragedy is "100%" the fault of suspect Robert Paul Keegan.
"The only thing that caused this murder was suspect's actions," O'Meara said. "It is completely immaterial what led up to it."
