Portland Woman Cleared in Deadly Safeway Parking Lot Shooting
(Portland, OR) -- A woman has been cleared of charges in connection with a July 18 shooting that left a man dead outside a Safeway on Northeast Sandy Boulevard. Police say 42-year-old Jasen Fitzsimmons was shot after allegedly trying to steal the woman's car while she was inside. Prosecutors initially charged Ashe Sarethi with murder and weapons offenses, but a grand jury declined to indict after hearing her testimony and other evidence. A judge dismissed the case Friday, and Sarethi was released from custody.
