86-year-old stabbed 3 times when he won't give up Porsche keys, OR officials say
A man accused of stabbing an 86-year-old three times while trying to make off with his Porsche is heading to prison, Oregon officials said.
Jesus Ascencio-Molina, 31, from Gresham, was ordered to serve 80 months behind bars, or more than six years, after pleading guilty to second-degree robbery and second-degree assault in the incident, the Clackamas County District Attorney's Office said in a June 28 news release.
McClatchy News reached out to his attorney June 30 and was awaiting a response.
Ascencio-Molina is accused of attacking the older man outside a grocery store on Dec. 27, 2024, prosecutors said.
He said he liked the 86-year-old's 2011 Porsche Panamera and asked him two times to hand over the keys, according to prosecutors.
The man said no, and Ascencio-Molina 'stabbed him twice in the back and once in the right rib cage,' prosecutors said.
Ascencio-Molina fled and was arrested at an apartment complex close by a couple of hours later, according to prosecutors.
The 86-year-old was taken to a hospital and survived his injuries.
Ascencio-Molina offered the man an apology in court, saying, 'I wasn't thinking straight,' prosecutors said in the release.
Gresham is about a 20-mile drive east from Portland.
