Oregon teen gunned down in hotel parking lot following dispute over loud music

A dispute over loud music ended with a 47-year-old Oregon man fatally shooting a Black teenager in a hotel parking lot just days before Thanksgiving, police said.

Aidan Ellison, 19, was staying at the hotel with his friend Sara Jones and her cousin when the young man couldn't sleep that night.

"I gave Aidan my car keys to listen to music," Jones, 35, told NBC News on Monday.

While the deadly dispute may have started over loud music, Ashland Police Chief Tighe O'Meara said in a statement that this tragedy is "100%" the fault of suspect Robert Paul Keegan.

"The only thing that caused this murder was suspect's actions," O'Meara said. "It is completely immaterial what led up to it."

'Looks Like the Crazy Lady Has Logged On': Rep. Ilhan Omar Welcomes QAnon Conspiracy Theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene to Congress

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar on Friday welcomed to Congress Marjorie Taylor Greene—a Republican businesswoman who supports the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon, has a history of racist comments, and won a House seat in Georgia earlier this month—by offering some advice.

In response to Greene dragging up the unfounded Internet rumor that Omar married her brother, the congresswoman said, "Looks like the crazy lady has logged on."

"I know things might be different where you come from," Omar added to Taylor, "but you have to get off the looney train now that you are in Congress."

Omar is not playing nice with the lunatic fringe of Republicans.

Hoyer on Trump election challenges: 'I think this borders on treason'

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) on Thursday said President Trump's efforts to persuade Republican officials to reverse election results in key battleground states “borders on treason.”

“He is undermining the very essence of democracy, which is: You go to the poll, you vote and the people decide,” Hoyer told The Washington Post. “There’s no doubt that the people decided.”

“I think this borders on treason,” the Maryland Democrat added.
