Bend, OR – A second individual has been sentenced for their involvement in the 2022 shooting death of Edgar Miguel Torres-Aguilera in Madras, Oregon. The tragic incident occurred on Halloween night in the Strawberry Heights neighborhood, where Torres-Aguilera was fatally shot multiple times.

The man sentenced, a former Warm Springs resident, was handed a 14-year prison term after pleading guilty to his role in the crime. This sentence follows the conviction of another individual who was previously sentenced in connection with Torres-Aguilera’s death. Authorities have worked diligently to bring justice to the victim and his family, ensuring that both individuals involved are held accountable for their actions.

The shooting, which took place in a residential area, drew significant attention and concern within the community. Investigators pieced together evidence that ultimately led to the arrests and convictions of the two suspects. Local law enforcement agencies, along with the district attorney’s office, have emphasized the importance of holding those responsible for violent crimes accountable, as well as maintaining safety and peace in the community.

The case continues to be a somber reminder of the violence that can devastate communities, but also of the persistence of law enforcement in seeking justice. Both sentences serve as a signal that individuals involved in such crimes will face significant consequences, regardless of their position in the case. Torres-Aguilera’s family has expressed their grief, with many continuing to seek closure as they cope with their loss.

The sentencing concludes a chapter in the investigation, though the community remains affected by the events of that fateful night.
