The case was prosecuted for the state by Multnomah County Deputy District Attorney Bijal Patel. After the convictions she said:

“The defendant caused significant damage to community property and was particularly vindictive toward local artists and businesses. This verdict reflects our commitment to protecting local businesses and public spaces from vandalism. This prosecution was a community effort; we thank the victims for their support and cooperation.”

 The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office would like to thank Officer Nathan Kirby-Glatkowski and Officer Amelia Flohr for their dedication to justice and their hard work on this case.

THE FACTS:

On April 27, 2022,  two graffiti vandals spray painted tags over murals on the front of Platinum Records Lights and Sound at 104 SW 2nd Ave in Portland. An initial investigation identified one of the suspects. A second person was eventually served with a search warrant and evidence found on her phone led to the identification of Jacob Ramos as the second person involved in tagging Platinum Records Lights and Sound.

Ramos used the tag “Bier” which law enforcement was tracking across numerous locations through the city as a recurring graffiti tag.

Investigators found text messages on the phone which included a discussion that they will continue to tag and encourage graffiti peers to join in the continued tagging.

On April 11, 2023 officers executed a search warrant on the defendant’s home.

In the garage investigators found more than 60 partially used cans of spray paint, dozens of spray canister caps and a glass framed photograph hanging on the wall showing an abandoned building vandalized with the tag “Bier” on the front.

Officers also found numerous gun related materials and firearms and a 3D printer which appeared to be paused as it was making a gun part.

Ramos is a felon and could not legally own firearms. He was separately tried and convicted on those charges.

MAN BAILED OUT BY PORTLAND FREEDOM FUND PLEADS GUILTY TO MURDER, RECEIVES LIFE IN PRISON. - 12/31/25

Case: 22CR41680                                                                                                                                           Release date: 12/31/25

Portland, OR-Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Jenna Plank Tuesday (12/30/25) sentenced Mohamed Osman Adan to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 25 years. Adan pled guilty to Murder in the Second Degree for the brutal killing of his domestic partner, Racheal Abraham on August 27, 2022. 

Adan was also convicted of Felony Strangulation Constituting Domestic Violence, Contempt of Court for Violating a No Contact Order, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants and Felony Fleeing or Attempting to Elude a Police Officer for crimes committed separate from the murder.

Adan made an escalating series of attacks on Racheal in 2022. At the time of the murder, there were three small children living with them in an apartment in southeast Portland. 

On May 2, 2022, Racheal told police Defendant punched her in the head two times while she was on the couch. She said he was intoxicated and angry that he’d found a text message between Racheal and a female friend. (22CR29868 - Probable Cause Affidavit)

On June 23, 2022, officers were sent to the same apartment. Racheal had by now taken out a restraining order against Adan. This time Racheal reported that one of the children mistakenly let Defendant into the apartment. He refused to leave and broke her phone so she could not call for help. She said he strangled her multiple times while saying things like “I’m going to put you to sleep” and “I should kill you.” She also remembered being punched in the face. She was able to escape when Defendant went upstairs to check on the children. Officers observed Racheal with a black eye and her left cheek was swollen. Adan was arrested. (22CR29868 - Probable Cause Affidavit) 

At the arraignment, Racheal provided the following statement concerning Defendant’s release: “Judge please hold him im concerned for my [safety] and my kids statics show that strangulation cases lead to homicide and i dont want to be a victim to this when he was strangling me is did speak in the third person askin if he should kill me im concerned for my [safety] and the [safety] of my kids."

Defendant was released with GPS supervision and other conditions. 

After being released, Defendant failed to abide by his release conditions. Defendant returned to the restricted address on July 27, 2022. He then subsequently cut off his GPS monitor. Close Street Supervision Deputy Amie Banta requested a warrant for his arrest.

On August 11, 2022, officers were sent to the same apartment again. This time, Defendant locked Racheal out of the home. She said he earlier slipped into the apartment using a key, that he covered her mouth so she could not scream and beat her with prayer beads. 

(22CR38755 - Probable Cause Affidavit)

Adan was arrested and held in custody. He asked that his bail be lowered and over the State’s vehement objection, the court lowered bail and set it at $20,000.

That’s when the Portland Freedom Fund stepped in. The group bailed out Adan using donations from members on August 22, 2025 with no regard to the threat he posed toward Racheal. 

With bail set at $20,000 the Portland Freedom Fund paid 10% of his bail, which totaled $2,000 for Adan’s release.

As part of the resolution of this case, MCDA asked for and the court ordered forfeiture of the remaining bail amount due which is $18,000. The money will be used for restitution including helping Racheal’s children to heal. 

This case involved multiple risk factors that are studied, known and understood by experts in the field of domestic violence to represent a significant risk of homicide when present. The Affidavit of Probable Cause in 22CR38755 clearly lists the lethality factors assessed by DDA Kenzie Ludwig using a well known danger assessment tool. By bailing out Defendant, the Portland Freedom Fund ignored those risk factors which led to her death.

Five days after being released, Adan cut off his GPS bracelet in the early morning hours and once again returned to the apartment where he brutally murdered Racheal. The murder was horrific, with Racheal suffering catastrophic knife wounds to her face and other parts of her body. The Medical Examiner concluded that she died by strangulation, and opined that the strangulation occurred after suffering the knife wounds. The three young children were present in the home at the time of the assault and murder.

Multnomah County Senior Deputy District Attorney Melissa Marrero and Deputy District Attorney Andrew MacMillan prosecuted the case for the State. After the conviction and sentencing Marrero said:

“This case is an absolute tragedy that never should have happened. The warning signs were there and Racheal Abraham did everything in her power to protect herself. Mohamed Adan should have never been out of custody. Those who believed they knew better than the professionals tasked with ensuring safety, including Racheal herself, were wrong. And it cost her life. Racheal deserved better. Her children deserved better. She should be here with us today. 

It’s important to those closest to Racheal that she is remembered for more than her brutal killing. Racheal Abraham was a deeply selfless and loving person. She was a devoted mother, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. She was loved and is deeply missed.” 

The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office would like to thank the Portland Police Bureau, and specifically Detectives Rico Beniga and Jennifer Hertzler for their excellent work on this case, and Close Street Supervision Deputy Amie Banta, who worked to keep Racheal safe prior to her murder.

MCDA would also like to thank Victim Advocate Rebecca Leediker and previous advocates Lora Smith and Heather Malenke for the care and compassion shown to Racheal, Racheal’s family, and loved ones.

Finally, we’d like to thank DDA Kenzie Ludwig, who fought tirelessly to protect Racheal while she was still alive along with Racheal’s family and friends who were there for her as she tried to escape the abuse.

Multnomah County Chief Deputy District Attorney Todd Jackson and Senior Deputy District Attorney Brian Davidson prosecuted the case.  After the sentencing, Chief Deputy District Attorney Todd Jackson said:

MCDA would also like to recognize the care and compassion shown to the victims by MCDA Victim Advocate Souk Kanhalikham.

THE FACTS:

On October 6, 2020, Shawn Fujioka and his brother drove from their home in Carrolls, Washington to Portland. They came to the city as a belated birthday celebration and shopping trip. The brothers paid for a hotel room that night. Someone they hoped to sell a jacket to came over to the room and also invited many others to join in the party. At one point, the victim and the man he planned to sell the coat to began to fight. It stopped but then began again, which brought the other man’s friend, the defendant over to intervene. He pulled a gun and when challenged by the victim, shot the victim in the chest. He then pointed the firearm at the victim’s brother threatening to shoot him as well.  The defendant fled the scene following the shooting.
