Alexander Keith Olenslager, a 22-year-old Caucasian man, died on December 9, 2014, from a gunshot wound in an outbuilding on a property along Highway 224 in Eagle Creek, Oregon. Family members at the scene called 911 and told investigators he had been having trouble with one of his firearms and was trying to fix it.

Evidence at the scene and witness statements supported the account that he was attempting to remove a jammed cartridge when the weapon discharged. The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office investigated and concluded the fatal shot was accidental. Authorities announced they did not suspect foul play, and no arrests were made.

Anyone with memories of Alexander or information about that property or the circumstances that evening is asked to share what they know.
