girlfriend, who was not present
at the time. The teenager is the
girlfriend’s son.
According to the KPD, the
teenager fatally stabbed Holly
but police had no reason to
believe the community was in
danger. The teenager was ar-
rested that evening based on
probable cause and lodged at
the Marion County Juvenile
Detention Facility.
On Monday morning, how-
ever, the teenager was released.
“Upon review of all the
evidence as of (April 18), the
Marion County District At-
torney’s Offi ce elected to not
fi le charges against (the teen-
ager) at this time,” a state-
ment from the DA’s offi ce said.
“Therefore, (the teenager) will
be released from the juvenile
detention facility without con-
ditions.”
Neighbors feel that was the
right decision.
Shauna Weiss said she and
her husband got home about
8:15 p.m. on April 15 and Hol-
ly pulled in right after them.
Weiss said Holly’s Ford Ranger
pickup was steaming and Hol-
ly was “extremely intoxicated.”
Holly then entered his house.
“About 8:35 (the teenager)
ran over to our house, bang-
ing on the door, frantic,” Weiss
said. “My husband opened the
LIQUOR,

“There will be the liquor
store moving in there plus tak-
ing two vacant spaces,” Bloch
said. “They will have about
7,000 square feet.”
Coker said that’s a notable
jump in size compared to the
door. (The teen) had blood
on him and was extremely
distraught. He kept saying, “I
stabbed him, Jeff needs help
bad.’ My husband went back
over to the house with him.”
According to Weiss, the
teenager said he called his
mom and sister, begging for
them to come because Holly
was screaming.
Weiss said the teenager told
her Holly was on top of him,
but he was able to grab a knife.
“I fi rmly believe if (the
teenager) hadn’t done what he
did, he would be dead,” Weiss
said. “Jeff would have killed
him.”
Police records show Weiss
and other neighbors started
calling the cops on Holly start-
ing in June 2014, shortly after
he moved in. In the span of a
week in late June and early July
2014, Weiss’s husband called
police three times about Holly,
including once after Holly left
a note on their door and start-
ed making threatening phone
calls.
“Whatever happens, don’t
ever call the cops on me again,”
Holly’s note read in part. “If
you do, it will not help you, it
will make things worse. Please
don’t escalate a non-situation.”
Later, Holly called the po-
lice three times about a neigh-
bor’s barking dog. Police re-
cords show the neighbor told
responding offi cers the dog
started barking only after be-
ing antagonized by Holly, with
one reference to Holly throw-
ing rocks at the dog.
In recent months, there
were three calls regarding do-
mestic disturbance between
Holly and his girlfriend. The
fi rst happened last Nov. 12.
The girlfriend told the offi cer
there had been a verbal argu-
ment, but didn’t answer any
further questions, according to
a police report of the incident.
The next call took place
Feb. 7, with the girlfriend’s
daughter reporting a domestic
disturbance between her mom
and Holly. According to the
police report, the offi cer ob-
served bruises on the girlfriend
and gave her domestic violence
information and suggested she
contact the Marion County
Victim Assistance program for
help in obtaining a restraining
order against Holly.
On Feb. 15, the girlfriend
fl agged down an offi cer on
Alder Drive. According to
the police report, she asked
the offi cer about how to get
an emergency protective or-
der since the courthouse was
closed for President’s Day.
The girlfriend told the offi cer
Holly had abused her multiple
times during their two-year
relationship, according to the
police report.
Later that day, the offi cer
obtained an emergency pro-
tective order, a new tool that
became available on Jan. 1. Jeff
Kuhns, deputy chief with the
KPD, said this was the fi rst
such order issued in Marion
County.
The order was good for a
week and forbid Holly from
having any contact with his
girlfriend during that time.
In the time since, neighbors
constantly saw Holly’s pickup
at the house and wondered
why it was allowed to be there.
“Jeff ’s truck has been there
everyday,” Weiss said. “Police
never stopped. Sometimes
they hauled him in, but typi-
cally they just asked him to
leave. Why have police if they
can’t protect us? I’m kind of
surprised it took this long for
something to happen. The
cops didn’t step in. They failed.
They failed the kids.”
The Coronado family had
known the girlfriend for years
and considered her a good
friend, but that changed over-
night once Holly moved in.
“This guy was something
else,” Frank Coronado said.
“He was terrible. They had a
restraining order out on this
guy.”
While neighbors were
miffed as to why Holly was still
around in light of the restrain-
ing order, Kuhns said one was
never fi led for by the girlfriend
after the week-long emergen-
cy order was granted.
“She would have to go to a
judge in the next week about
getting a restraining order,”
Kuhns said. “Nothing hap-
pened. Had she done some-
thing, which is another review
by the court saying it should be
of longer duration, we would
have to fi nd him and serve him
so he can be given notice and
have no contact. She could go
back anytime and ask for the
restraining order.”
Kuhns said the offi cer who
got the emergency order made
it clear to the victim what she
had to do.
“He did what had to do to
protect the victim,” Kuhns said.
“We were hoping she would
help herself. If there are un-
cooperative victims, we can’t
take action. If she had been co-
operative and we hadn’t taken
action, our offi cer would have
been derelict in his duties. But
when you get to the last inci-
dent, the offi cer felt she was in
danger. He took steps to assist
her by following the process.
This allows anyone who fi nds
themselves in this situation to
get their ducks lined up and
get a formal restraining order
issued.”
Kuhns said responding offi -
cers can’t do much if a victim
doesn’t cooperate or says an ar-
gument was verbal only.
“Then we are kind of
stuck,” he said. “We don’t have
probable cause in that case.
That happens often. Neigh-
bors believe it sounded physi-
cal, but if they say it’s verbal
only and we don’t see anything
that tells otherwise, it gets diffi -
cult to get probable cause. The
neighbors need to know, had
we developed probable cause,
our offi cers would have taken
appropriate action and arrested
the aggressor.”
Coronado said his wife told
the girlfriend to dump Holly.
“My wife told her some-
thing bad was going to hap-
pen,” Coronado said. “I feel so
sorry for the boy. I don’t wish
death on anyone, but I’m glad
(Holly) is gone.”
Daughter-in-law
Tonya
Coronado feels especially bad
for the teenager as well.
“It’s a shame he will have to
live with it the rest of his life,”
she said. “I imagine he was
quite scared. He was never the
type that would get mad and
fi ght.”
Last Friday’s homicide con-
tinued a busy year for the KPD.
In addition to this being Keiz-
er’s second homicide in a span
of two months – the other tak-
ing place at Keizer Station on
Feb. 14 – there was also a fatal
vehicle vs. pedestrian accident
on March 11 and a shooting at
the Keizer Bi-Mart on March
21.
The KPD was assisted on
April 15 by the Marion Coun-
ty District Attorney’s Offi ce,
Marion County Medical Ex-
aminer, the Marion County
Sheriff ’s Offi ce and the Or-
egon State Police.
Anyone with information
about this incident or about
those involved is asked to con-
tact KPD detective Andrew
Phelps at 503-390-3713 Ext.

current location.
“That is twice the size,” he
said. “The goal is to have an
open sales fl oor of about 6,000
square feet. We’re hoping to
have an open shopping envi-
ronment. We will be expand-
ing our spirits section and also
adding craft beers and wine.
Our cooler space will be 36 to
40 feet long, with 16 doors.”
Moving to a new location
isn’t a new thought for Coker.
“When I took Keizer Li-
quor Store over, my early pro-
posal was to move the store,”
Coker said. “I wanted to make
sure it was sound fi nancially
fi rst. We were always looking
for a space that’s more central.
We’re been missing some of
the traffi c because of how far
south we are.
“We’d also get the com-
muters from Keizer Station
coming to the new location,”
he added. “I also feel the
growth of the town is going
north, which makes that a bet-
ter location. We’re a commu-
nity store, here to serve Keizer
and the surrounding area. Be-
ing in an area with more traffi c
makes sense.”
Coker called business the
last two years “excellent” and
said spirit sales have been $1
million a year. He attributes
business growth to longer and
more consistent hours, being
open on Sundays and having
more products to sell.
Coker considered the
Creekside Shopping Center
where
Albertsons/Haggen
used to be, but noted the diffi -
culty in delivery plus the prob-
lems in turning left.
“This is a big step for us,”
Coker said. “We’re pretty ex-
cited about the move. I’m
not sure what the deal is with
others leaving (Schoolhouse
Square), but having a liquor
store there will be a huge draw.
We bring in 100,000 vehicles
a year here. It’s almost like
having an anchor store. That
much traffi c will benefi t the
other businesses in the center.”
