On March 15, 2020, two people were fatally shot in Winston, Oregon, just before 2 a.m. One of the victims was 24-year-old Nicholas David Lehman-Helmke; the other was 31-year-old Benny Alexander Stallings. The shooter was identified as 34-year-old Savino David DeSantiago, who was reportedly known to both victims.

After the initial shootings near Ford Street, DeSantiago drove to a residence on Peach Street, honked, then fired into the home through a window before leaving the scene. He later turned himself in and was arrested; he was booked in the Douglas County Jail on a murder charge and additional charges were reported as pending.

The sequence of events — the two killings, the subsequent shooting into a home, and the suspect turning himself in — raises questions about the relationship between the parties and what motivated the attack. If anyone knew Nicholas’s movements that night or has information about connections between the people involved, please come forward.
