Sweet Home Police Respond to Fatal Fire - 5

SWEET HOME, Ore. May 7, 2020 1:52 p.m. — The investigation into the deaths of the Shobert family on April 28, 2020, has not slowed over the last week. Investigators continue to work the case, interviewing witnesses, processing digital evidence, and analyzing leads. 

We understand that many people want more information, but details regarding the crime scene will not be public until after the investigation is fully complete out of respect for the family. Our officers have been meeting with the family and keeping them as up to date as possible.

Evidence gathered indicates this was an isolated and targeted act of violence and not a random act. The full force of local and area resources has been tasked with providing resolution to the family and the community.

The City continues to ask for anyone having knowledge regarding these deaths to please contact the Sweet Home Police Detective Keenan Martin at (541) 367-5181 as soon as possible. What might seem an insignificant detail to a witness could be a key fact to the investigators.

Additional information will be released when it becomes available.
