Description:
Bend, Oregon criminal law lawyer represented Defendant charged second degree murder.



Ian Cranston was charged with shooting and killing Barry Washington, Jr., an unarmed black man outside a bar in downtown Bend on September of 2021.



On the night of September 19, 2021, Cranston shot and killed Barry Washington on a sidewalk in

downtown Bend. Cranston was angry with Washington because Washington had complimented

Cranston's girlfriend.



Defendant claimed self defense.



"Today is not a day to rejoice, nor is it a day to celebrate. Today is a day of

accountability for Ian Cranston and it is day 424 of Barry Washington's family

and our community mourning his passing. By all accounts, Barry was a dear

friend to many and a wonderful son to Lawanda Roberson. This verdict does not

provide Ms. Roberson what she ultimately wants, but hopefully knowing that the

residents of Deschutes County valued Barry's life provides her some comfort

moving forward.” District Attorney Hummel
Outcome:
Defendant was convicted for first-degree manslaughter.
