Hard science tells us that people are becoming physically mature younger and younger but soft science tells us that older and older people should not be held responsible for their actions

Thankfully, prosecutors plan to charge DRG as an adult. Given his past criminal history of setting fires, I would not be surprised if DRG also has a history of other disturbing behavior such as harming animals that flew under the radar. He didn’t go from being a normal 16-year-old to a child murderer overnight, IMO.

This article is from July 15. :(:mad:


A 16-year-old boy charged with killing a missing 13-year-old Beaverton girl in May pleaded not guilty Friday to additional charges that he raped the girl before killing her, then moved her body from the scene.

Daniel Ryan Gore appeared via video conference in Washington County Circuit Court. Through his attorney, Gore pleaded not guilty to seven charges – two counts of first-degree murder, first- and second-degree rape, two counts of first-degree sexual abuse and second-degree abuse of a corpse.

The multiple counts of the same charges offer alternative theories for how the alleged crimes occurred, prosecutors said, but they didn’t offer any details in court or answer questions afterward about how Li died.

Gore is accused of sexually abusing and raping Milana Li, then killing her and moving her body from where she died.

Li’s body was found in a small stream by a trail May 10, two days after going missing from her family’s home in Southwest Beaverton. Investigators have not said whether Gore knew Li or how Li died.

Li attended Conestoga Middle School. Family and friends described her as warm, gentle and kind. A GoFundMe for the Li family had raised more than $45,000 as of Friday afternoon.

A 16-year-old boy has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Milana Li, whose body was found in a shallow stream.

Daniel Ryan Gore came to court from the Washington County Juvenile Court through a video link. Prosecutors said they were going to treat him like an adult in court.

The boy is being kept in jail without a bond. On June 3, he will be back in court.

On Friday, when the teen went to court, he didn't say anything.

Deputy District Attorney Dustin Staten asked the judge to keep secret an affidavit called "probable cause" that explains why Gore was arrested.

******
During the hearing on Friday, the child's mother, Assel Li, stood up and asked the judge not to let Gore go.

She said, "I feel like my family won't be safe if he's out, and I think it's dangerous for him to be out in the community." "I also have a small girl child. She’s 5.”

Glad this guy is going to for-real prison. I hope that language and/or cultural barriers don't prevent his rehabilitation.

Milana Li

Her suspected killer, Daniel Ryan Gore, appeared in Washington County Circuit Court Monday for a weeklong hearing to decide whether he will be tried as an adult. Gore is accused of raping and murdering Milana Li and moving her body after killing her when he was 16.

Li’s body was found May 10, 2022 in a secluded, wooded area by the Westside Regional Trail to Barrows Park two days after she went missing from her family’s home in Southwest Beaverton.

She had been strangled to death and submerged underwater, her body covered in scrapes and bruises and hidden under a blanket that was weighed down with narrow logs, according to multiple officials who testified Monday in Washington County Circuit Court about the slaying.

Gore’s semen was detected on a swab of the sixth grader’s genitals, investigators said.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A Washington County judge has confirmed that a teenager charged with the murder of 13-year-old Milana Li will be tried as an adult in his upcoming court proceedings.

Daniel Gore, now 17, was 16 years old when he was first charged with first-degree murder. Last year, Li was reported missing and later found dead in Westside Linear Park.

The spot where Li’s body was found was about half a mile down the trail from her family’s apartment, where she was last seen by her mother around 4 p.m. on May 8, authorities said. Beaverton police initially classified the case as a runaway.

The medical examiner conducted an autopsy on May 11 and Li’s death was officially ruled a homicide by strangulation.

Washington County previously told KOIN 6 that Gore, now 17, was on probation for previous non-violent offenses including theft, arson and criminal mischief.

I live about 1.5 miles from where her body was found, drive by there regularly, & always think of her. The location is between two shopping areas, with surrounding houses & apartments, popular with recreational walkers, joggers, bicyclists. Justice has been served.

Why was the 16 year old murderer residing in a tent? Where was his mother ?

Appears he's a runaway and has done it several times per the attached article. No idea where the mother is, but he was staying with his father and step-mother according to the article.
  • he had twice run away from Harkins House, a temporary shelter in Hillsboro for minors with pending criminal cases.
  • he and another juvenile tried to set a movie theater on fire
  • Gore violated his probation in February after he stole a men’s sport coat and a jacket
  • Gore was sent to stay with his father and stepmother in Salem, according to Staten. He ran away two weeks later
He sounds like a very troubled kid that started out bad and only got worse as the article says he has a criminal history stretching back to fall 2020. :(

Thank you. I’m glad they caught him. Sounds like a classic sociopath. One less walking the streets, very good, well done police.

Looks like Milana's killer was sentenced to life yesterday, but he might get out early due to how juvenile laws may be interpreted in Oregon. The judge had imposed the maximum sentence allowed, which is life in prison with the possibility of parole in a little over 38 years. However, it looks like he'll be eligible for parole in 15 years...

A “second look” hearing that allows young defendants to seek sentence reductions halfway through their punishment could be allowed as soon as 7½ years from now.

I for one wouldn't want someone like him out of prison, like... ever. He's scary. Setting fire to a theater like I posted upthread, etc. He's bad, bad news.

I shop at & drive by Progress Ridge several times a week & never fail to think of her & what she endured. Rest well, Milana.
