Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt today announced that a grand jury indicted Brandon Lewis Briscoe, 47, on two charges relating to the recent shooting death of a woman in Corbett:
- Murder in the Second Degree with a Firearm
- Felon in Possession of a Firearm
On June 3, 2023, Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a call at an RV park located at 37000 E. Historic Columbia River Highway in Corbett. The caller indicated that there had been a domestic disturbance between a man and a woman, that gunshots had been heard, and that the man had left the RV on foot with a gun in his hand. Responding deputies located Briscoe in the parking lot of a nearby fire station and took him into custody; they found his wife deceased in the RV with multiple apparent gunshot wounds. Briscoe made several statements to deputies about having killed his wife.
The grand jury indictment was filed yesterday, and Briscoe was arraigned today, entering a not guilty plea. Deputy District Attorney Brian Davidson is the prosecutor assigned to this case.
A charging instrument is only an accusation of a crime. Briscoe is innocent unless and until proven guilty.
