Jaime Javier Lagarda-Govea, 21, of Springfield was fatally shot on September 5, 2025, in the parking lot of the Walmart at 4550 W. 11th Ave. in Eugene. Police say the shooting occurred at about 5:18 p.m.; officers found the person responsible still at the scene and cooperating with investigators. The Eugene Police Department has not released specific details about how the altercation began.

Family remember Jaime, known as Jimmy, as a vibrant, caring young man. He had worked at that Walmart before transferring to another store and was employed at an assisted living facility at the time of his death. A GoFundMe was started to help cover funeral expenses. The case has been forwarded to the Lane County District Attorney’s Office, which as of early October 2025 was awaiting additional reports from police before deciding whether to file charges.
