Christopher Hoffman, 41, of Powell Butte, was shot to death inside his home on May 7, 2023. Investigators say the shooter was Russell Votruba of Bend, who fled the scene in Hoffman’s vehicle. Deputies and police located the stolen car on U.S. Highway 97 north of Bend the same day. After officers used spike strips and a PIT maneuver to stop the vehicle near Redmond, Votruba fired multiple times from a handgun, striking a patrol car and then himself in the upper chest. He was taken into custody after receiving medical aid and booked into the Crook County Jail, initially charged with second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, unlawful use of a weapon, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Court filings describe the events beginning with the fatal shooting at Hoffman’s Powell Butte residence and ending with the highway pursuit and arrest.
