Andrew McMahon pleads guilty to his role in the death of Alexander Brodigan

Today, Multnomah County District Attorney Rod Underhill announced 22-year-old Andrew McMahon pleaded guilty to one count each of manslaughter in the first degree and attempted robbery in the first degree.

McMahon will start serving a five year prison sentence on the attempted robbery in the first degree conviction and will be sentenced on the manslaughter in the first degree charge at a later date.

At Thursday’s hearing before Judge Eric J. Bergstrom, it was stated on the record that if McMahon adheres to his plea agreement he will receive a 10 year prison sentence on the manslaughter in the first degree conviction for a total sentence of 15 years in prison.

According to previously filed court documents, officers assigned to the Gresham Police Department responded to North Gresham Elementary school on June 19, 2017 at approximately 11:30 p.m. on reports of shots heard in the area. Upon arrival, officers located a vehicle that had crashed into the school. Inside the vehicle police located the body of 24-year-old Alexander Brodigan.

The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office reported that Brodigan died of a gunshot wound, and his death was ruled a homicide.

Law enforcement conducted a search of the area, which ultimately resulted in police identifying witnesses and potential persons of interest in this homicide, which included Austin Brown, 21, and McMahon.

Brown is charged with one count each of aggravated murder, murder and robbery in the first degree. Pre-trial motions in Brown’s case are scheduled to occur over a three day period in late October.

No additional information on this homicide investigation can be released at this time.

The cases involving McMahon and Brown are being prosecuted by Multnomah County Senior Deputy District Attorney Tom Cleary and Deputy District Attorney Todd Jackson.
