UPDATE: STAPLES PARKING LOT HOMICIDE Christopher Blodgett, a 50-year-old male of Coos Bay, has been arraigned on multiple charges following a homicide that occurred in the Staples parking lot in December. On December 28, 2025, at approximately 1:55 p.m., the North Coos 911 Center (NC911) received reports of a shooting in the parking lot of Staples, 1995 Newmark Ave., Coos Bay. Callers were able to provide dispatch a description and license plate for the suspect vehicle, which was immediately relayed to the responding Coos Bay Police Department (CBPD) officers. With that information, officers responded to the Staples shooting scene and immediately began the search for the suspect vehicle. CBPD officers arrived at the Staples parking lot around 2:00 p.m. and attempted to provide medical aid to the shooting victim, identified as 39-year-old David Orr of Coos Bay. Medical personnel also responded, but Mr. Orr was declared deceased at the scene. At 2:05 p.m., a North Bend Police Department (NBPD) officer located the suspect vehicle, based on the suspect vehicle owner information provided by dispatch, parked outside a residence near 33rd St. and Vine Ave. in Coos Bay. CBPD officers arrived shortly after, detained both occupants of the vehicle, and arrested Mr. Blodgett as the suspected shooter—only 13 minutes after the first 911 call was received. Mr. Blodgett was initially held on an unrelated Oregon State Parole Board, Grants Pass Police Department, and Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office warrants until the Coos County District Attorney’s Office filed the formal charges related to this case. On December 31, 2025, Mr. Blodgett was arraigned on the below-listed charges: • Murder in the second degree • Kidnapping in the second degree • Coercion • Felon in possession of a firearm • Assault in the fourth degree • Harassment The CBPD appreciates the assistance provided by members of the Coos County Major Crime Team, including the Oregon State Police (OSP), North Bend Police Department (NBPD), South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team (SCINT), Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indian Tribal Police, Coos County District Attorney’s Office, Coos County Medical Examiner, and Coos County Parole and Probation, along with the assistance provided on scene from the Coos Bay Fire Department (CBFD) and Bay Cities Ambulance (BCA).
