Man Arrested After Fatal Shooting, Multi-Location Police Response In Washington County
A 32-year-old man was arrested on second-degree murder charges after a fatal shooting and police response spanning multiple neighborhoods in Washington County.
Washington County, OR. — A 41-year-old man was found dead from a gunshot wound Friday afternoon following a disturbance with a weapon that triggered a complex, multi-location police response.
At approximately 2:45 p.m. on Dec. 27, officers were dispatched to a reported disturbance near Southeast Tualatin Valley Highway and Southeast 18th Avenue. The 911 caller was not on scene and relayed information through a third party, resulting in delayed and incomplete details for dispatchers.
Officers arrived and located the victim deceased in the driver’s seat of a vehicle parked in front of a residence. Investigators later confirmed the victim and suspect were known to one another.
A resident told officers the suspect was inside the nearby home with other people. Officers safely evacuated those individuals, secured the residence, and began efforts to contact the suspect with assistance from the Washington County Tactical Negotiations Team.
While those efforts were underway, officers received information that the suspect was no longer at the Southeast 18th Avenue location and had gone to a residence near Northeast 53rd Avenue and Northeast Hidden Creek Drive. Investigators later learned the suspect had left the original residence before officers arrived.
Additional third-party information then indicated the suspect was leaving the Northeast Hidden Creek Drive area and traveling toward South Meadows Middle School. Officers redirected and intercepted the suspect’s vehicle at the school.
The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Oscar Ruiz-Santiago, was non-compliant with officers, prompting the deployment of a Taser. He was taken into custody without further incident.
Ruiz-Santiago was lodged at the Washington County Jail on charges of second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, felon in possession of a weapon, and a parole violation. The investigation remains ongoing.

I see it’s yet ANOTHER non American name also just because the government of Oregon calls illegals RESIDENTS, THEY ARE NOT. THEY ARE UNWANTED INVADERS BEING PROTECTED BY DEMON DEMOCRATS!
Are you a Christian, Miss Peggy? What did Jesus himself say was the most important of his teachings? The Greatest Commandments were which ones? I’ll give you a hint: it was the first and second… and what was the 2nd Commandment Peggy? Love thy neighbor as you love thyself. And I hate to break it to you, he wasn’t referring to Bob and Karen who live next door, Peggy. He was referring to the ENTIRETY OF HUMANITY; and *specifically* he emphasized the importance of loving your fellow humans who are the most different from you. I can guarantee he did NOT mean “Only love thy neighbor who looks like and believes the same things as you”.
The first commandment was to love God above all else, but one cannot truly claim to love God if they do not show love and compassion toward their fellow human beings. So many of his other teachings: the Golden Rule, humility, forgiveness, service and charity to those less fortunate… do ANY of your words or the anti-immigration rhetoric of this administration demonstrate ANY of these? Or does it actually run entirely contradictory to what Jesus told us was the most important of his teachings? Because I can guarantee with a fair amount of certainty that Jesus would be disgusted and disappointed in how many people claiming to be ‘good Christians’ say and believe things like you so eloquently stated in your comment here. It goes against everything he taught. If you for a second believe you can believe those things AND be a good Christian you are being delusional and willfully ignorant.
Jesus felt his most important teaching was not merely a set of abstract rules but a call to a transformed life motivated by love, a love that is active, demonstrated through selfless service and a complete commitment to both God and others.
Also, question… did this article state what his citizenship status was? Did I miss it? Or are you seriously that bigoted and ignorant that you feel that any name of Latin origin is proof positive that the person is “illegal”? But I am also curious Peggy what you mean by ‘foreign’? I’m sorry but I’m not sure I’m aware which Native American Tribe the name ‘Peggy’ originates from…? Because of course when you say ‘foreign’ you must be talking about any name of European/Anglo Saxon origin as well, right? Because you can’t be so ignorant to think that stealing this land from Native Americans less than 300 years ago somehow makes white Europeans the rightful ‘native’ people of North America, can you?
Help me out here Peggy… isn’t the first lady an immigrant who was able to secure a visa using the same ‘genius visa’ that Jeffrey Epstien used to bring other teenage Eastern European models to the country 🤔
Remind me what it says on the plaque at Ellis Island, Peggy? Something about bring me your huddled masses…..? What generation American are you, Peg? Were your grandparents natural born ‘Americans’? What about your great-grandparents? How far do you have to go back when YOUR family were the ‘foreign’ ones here?
