From the desk of SHERIFF JOHN WARD CURRY COUNTY, OREGON 94235 MOORE STREET, SUITE 311 29808 Colvin Street (Physical) GOLD BEACH, OR 97444 (541) 247-3221 - FAX: 541-247-6893 Wardj@co.curry.or.us Press Release 12-29-25 On Saturday December 27, 2025 at about12:07pm, Sheriff’s Dispatch received a call regarding a white Dodge Ram pulling a Cargo trailer that was off the side of Airport Road, Sixes area north of Port Orford, and the engine had been running for over an hour and a half. Dispatch notified the Sixes River Fire Department and a volunteer, Ashley Moore, of that fire department arrived on scene first and then called 911 to report that there were two subjects in the vehicle and were unresponsive. Cal Ore Life Flight Ambulance were paged while Moore started providing CPR to the male driver after she was able to get him out of the truck and onto the ground. Moore saw that the female passenger, later identified as fifty-year-old Sandra Lewis, was gasping for air so Moore and a couple people driving by helped get Lewis out of the truck and into a recovery position. Moore then continued providing CPR to the male driver, later identified as forty-seven-year-old Anthony Carlson. Cal Ore Life Flight arrived shortly after that and took over CPR. Carlson was pronounced deceased at 12:55pm. Lewis was transported to Southern Coos Hospital in Bandon and then was transferred to River Bend Hospital in Springfield. We were told today that Lewis is in stable condition. Upon a visual search of Carlson’s truck, drug items were seized by CCSO and later tested. Some items tested positive for methamphetamine, and one item tested positive for fentanyl. The Curry County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank all those who responded from the Sixes River Fire Department, Cal Ore Life Flight, Bay Cities Ambulance, Oregon State Police and Port Orford Police. It is so unfortunate that a life was lost. Our condolences to the family. All information was provided to the Curry County District Attorney. The next of KIN was notified and the Curry County Sheriff’s Office is continuing the investigation. Featured News by Curry County Sheriff

HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION A person is in custody following a homicide that occurred in a local business parking lot. 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, 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 the suspected shooter. The Coos County Major Crime Team was activated to assist with the investigation, which is still ongoing. Due to this, the identity of the suspected shooter will not be released until their arraignment later this week. The suspect is currently being held at the Coos County Jail on unrelated charges. 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).
