PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A man will spend 10 years in prison after he was found guilty of an attempted murder in 2022, the Multnomah County district attorney announced Tuesday.
Ricardo Bernaldez-Molina, 39, is guilty of shooting a man at a restaurant near Southeast 188th and East Burnside Street in Gresham and then fleeing the scene in a car on March 10, 2022.
The victim was hospitalized for several weeks due to two gunshot wounds – one to the chest and one to the leg.
An investigation led police to arrest Bernaldez-Molina on Sept. 16, 2022, and his trial ended in March 2024 with convictions on second-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault with a firearm, unlawful use of a weapon, and possessing a firearm as a felon.
Bernaldez-Molina will serve his sentence at the Oregon Department of Corrections.
