Oregon police shot a man who fatally stabbed a Linfield College football player in the chest at a convenience store near the Oregon college campus over the weekend, according to The New York Daily News.
Joventino Bermudez Arenas of McMinnville, 33, stabbed 20-year-old Parker Moore, a Woodinville, Washington native, at a 7-Eleven just after 11 p.m. Saturday, according to OregonLive.com. Police shot and killed Arenas when he returned to the store and confronted officers with a knife.
The Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office said Moore died as a result of two stab wounds to the chest, and Arenas died as a result of multiple gunshot wounds, OregonLive.com reported.
Investigators say the stabbing appears to be random and don't think the suspect and Moore knew each other, according to the Daily News. Oregon police have not offered any motive for the crime.
"We don't have an idea of that at all," Capt. Tim Svenson of the Yamhill County Sheriff's Office told the Oregonian. "We don't have anything to explain or connect the two. It wasn't a robbery gone wrong, it wasn't an altercation."
In a 911 tape released by authorities on Monday, a store employee was selling alcohol to Moore when a man stabbed the student in the chest and then ran out the door, the Daily News reported. During the 911 call, someone else in the store was holding a rag onto Moore's chest.
Moore bled out onto the 7-Eleven floor but did not die, according to the Daily News. Moore, a sophomore, was flown to Oregon Health and Science University, where he died.
Moore was a linebacker and he and his teammates had just beat Pacific University 59-0 at their Saturday home game, OregonLive.com reported.
