No charges filed in November 2025 Hawthorne Street shooting death<\/strong>
\nJackson County District Attorney\u2019s office rules it an act of justified self defense after violent home invasion<\/em><\/p>\n

No criminal charges will be filed against a Medford man who shot and killed another person after a home-invasion incident in early November 2025 on Hawthorne Street, the Jackson County District Attorney\u2019s office said Friday. District Attorney Patrick Green said that after a \u201cthorough\u201d review by Medford police, his office will not file any criminal charges against David Rogers, 36, in the shooting death of Martin Uriel Jimenez Jr., 32, a news release said. The shooting occurred in the early morning hours of Nov. 2, 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only reasonable conclusion from the evidence collected is that Mr. Rogers\u2019 use of deadly physical force against Mr. Jimenez was justified self-defense under Oregon law,\u201d according to the D.A.\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

The release said, \u201cIn any criminal prosecution, when self-defense is raised as a defense, the state is required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that self-defense does not apply. Due to the factual circumstances of this incident, the evidence supports only that Mr. Rogers was justified in using deadly physical force, as he was not the initial aggressor and he reasonably believed Mr. Jimenez was about to use deadly physical force upon him.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the release, Medford police officers were dispatched to an apartment complex on Hawthorne Street around 3:30 a.m. Nov. 2, 2025, after reports of gunshots. While en route, another caller \u2014 Thomas Owens, 72, a resident of the apartment complex \u2014 reported that a male, later identified as Jimenez, had broken into his home and tried to kill him.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficers arrived to find Mr. Jimenez lying deceased on the ground in the threshold of Mr. Owens\u2019 apartment,\u201d the release said. \u201cIt was apparent that Mr. Owens\u2019 door had been breached with force, as the door frame was splintered inward. Officers contacted Mr. Owens who had obvious physical injuries from being assaulted, including active bleeding from his nose. He was treated on scene by Mercy Flights personnel.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficers also contacted David Rogers, who was nearby and was one of Mr. Owens\u2019 neighbors in the same apartment complex. Mr. Rogers identified himself as the one who had shot Mr. Jimenez and indicated his firearm was on the floor inside his own apartment and unloaded,\u201d the D.A.\u2019s office reported. \u201cMr. Rogers was cooperative and was briefly detained as the investigation proceeded. MPD detectives then responded to the scene to collect physical evidence and to interview Mr. Rogers, Mr. Owens, and other witnesses.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun.
