On the morning of October 29, 2018, a dispute over a motorcycle in Cave Junction, Oregon, ended with the death of 46-year-old Richard OCoyne. He then went to the residence of Christopher Lorne, with whom he had an ongoing dispute about ownership of the motorcycle.

Around 7:30 a.m., OCoyne parked near Lorne’s home, and while the passenger slept, OCoyne shouted profanities and fired a rifle at the house. Awakened, Lorne retrieved a .45 caliber pistol and, from a bedroom window, fired back at the SUV. One of those rounds struck OCoyne in the head, killing him instantly; the passenger was able to exit the vehicle uninjured. An autopsy detected methamphetamine, cyclobenzaprine, cannabinoids, and LSD in OCoyne’s system. After reviewing the scene and circumstances, the District Attorney concluded Lorne had acted in self-defense and no arrests were made.

Are there witnesses or additional details about the events at the motorcycle shop or the exchange at Lorne’s home?
