The Keizer Police Department is investigating two separate shootings that occurred on the evening of February 9th and in the early morning hours of the 10th at Keizer Station. At approximately 10:15pm on February 9th, the first of two incidents involving shots fired rang out near the intersection of Keizer Station Blvd and Ulali Dr NE. During this incident, a vehicle with a Salem family of four (28-year-old mother and father and two children ages 2 and 7) had left In-N-Out Burger and was negotiating the intersection when their windows were shot out. The driver sustained a serious but non-life-threatening wound to the head. He was able to drive to the Keizer Fire District where he was seen by medical staff and then transported to the Salem Hospital Emergency Department (SHED) for treatment and evaluation.
While at SHED with the first victim, Keizer Police detectives contacted a second victim of the shooting as he arrived by private vehicle with serious but non-life-threatening wounds to his leg.
Detectives have worked through the night to gather physical and digital evidence in order to identify the suspects in this first of two shootings.
In the second incident, at approximately 3:15am on the 10th, Keizer Police responded back out to the area on a report of a male brandishing a handgun and menacing a Sysco delivery driver who was delivering to the Hops & Drops Restaurant. The driver was able to secure himself in the restaurant as the suspect shot his delivery truck full of holes.
At about 1pm the same day, Keizer Police detectives arrested 42-year-old transient, Keith A. Winans, on charges of menacing, unlawful use of a weapon, attempted burglary, criminal mischief and initiating a false report. He was processed and transported to the Marion County Correctional Facility where he was released to intake staff on the listed charges. The weapon used in this shooting was recovered near the scene.
Keizer Police detectives continue to follow leads in an effort to identify the suspects in the first shooting.
As the investigation continues, updates will be made available.
