C ontinued from f ront
car, a Toyota Avalon, were also
reported that morning. The car
was found abandoned on North
Hodge Avenue about two miles
from where Malone was shot.
A shotgun was also recovered
the same day in some shrubbery
along North Allegheny Avenue,
not far from the crime scene.
Robert Malone, the victim’s
older brother, said they grew up
in north Portland and both attend-
ed Roosevelt High. Ricky was a
student athlete, his brother said,
Ricky Malone Sr.
and later refereed at youth bas-
ketball games through Portland
Parks & Recreation.
Having charges brought gives
his family some relief, Robert
Malone said.
“Our family is overjoyed that
we now have at least a piece of
closure,” he was quoted in the Or-
egonian.
Ricky Malone reportedly en-
joyed his habit of collecting bot-
tles and cans to pick up a little
extra cash and was planning to
meet another family member at a
redemption center later that day.
Robert Malone said he will be
very missed.
“Ricky was just a quiet, good
type of brother,” he said. “He
worked with the youth, he was a
basketball official, a referee and
the kids loved him.”
Robert Malone also spoke in
court about his brother’s children
and grandchildren and his strong
ties to the St. Johns neighborhood.
“Not only did I lose a brother, I
lost a best friend,” he said.
