Charges were fi led this
week in connection with a
Valentine's Day homicide at
Keizer Station.
Court documents show
Timothy Bernard Calloway,
25, has been charged with
murder, fi rst degree robbery
and unlawful use of a weapon.
Jerrid Goodpaster, 28, was
fatally shot in the parking
lot near the Keizer Station
Starbucks on the evening of
Feb. 14.
A couple of days after
the shooting, Keizer Police
Department detectives talked
with Calloway and Diontay
Edward Wilson, 26, about the
incident. Both were arrested
in Eugene on other unrelated
charges. KPD deputy chief
The victim, Jerrid Good”aster
Jeff Kuhns had maintained
his department only referred
to the two men as persons
of interest in the Goodpaster
case, not suspects. However,
a court document in the
unrelated case against Wilson
describes him as “a suspect in
Keizer Station crime.”

Along the way, each of the

and made some inspired
choices because the Celtic

as one of the top 50 entries in
the country.
The fi nal winner will be

When McNary High
School senior Reina Strand
approached Todd Layton, the
Celtic graphic arts teacher,
with a fl yer from the Vans
Shoes company soliciting
entries for shoe designs and
the opportunity to win
$50,000 for the school, Strand
expected (hoped) he would
assign it to other students.
Instead, Layton made it
a class project. Strand was
charged with heading up the
design for a pair of boardsport-
themed shoes.
“I started out with just
snowboarding, but it kind of
grew to include surfi ng,” said
Strand. “I approached it from
a graphic design standpoint
and I created vinyl stickers
and then applied them onto
the shoes. Most of the things
I create stay on the computer
and it was cool to make
something that someone
could wear.”
Fellow Celtic students Kim
White and Elsa Olsen were
