On September 2, 2023 at about 2:39 a.m., Eugene police responded to a shooting outside the 7-Eleven at 590 E. Broadway. The victim was Stephen Anthony Forrest, 32, an employee of the store; he was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died from those wounds. The Eugene Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit opened an investigation and identified a person of interest as Jaisi Tavin Savath, 22, of Springfield, described as about 6 feet tall, thin, with an olive complexion and long black hair.

Savath was believed to have fled in a vehicle, though an initial report of a silver Infinity 4-door sedan was later ruled out. Police warned he might be armed and asked anyone with information to contact Detective Cliff Sites at 541-682-5147 or [email protected]. On September 6, 2023 Savath turned himself in and was taken into custody; the investigation is being treated as a murder and his role is under further scrutiny.

Does anyone with knowledge of the area or that night have information that could help investigators?
