A Good Deed Turned Tragic | Portland News

0:00So, a 25-year-old dude named Arvoney Alexander Hayes just got hit with an 18-year prison sentence. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and using a weapon illegally. This all stems from a tragic incident back on July 14, 2024 in Portland. The victim, Aaron McKinnis, was just doing a good deed. He was dropping off a friend when he heard a woman crying in a car nearby. McKinnis went to check on her, and that's when he encountered Hayes who was apparently naked at the time. After some back and forth Hayes got dressed and then jumped back into his car, telling the woman to drive off. McKinnis ran after the car, and that's when Hayes got out and fired his weapon. McKinnis was shot three times and sadly passed away at the hospital. Hayes will be serving his 18 years, followed by three years of supervision. It's a heavy situation, man, a simple act of trying to help someone turn into a life-ending event. This kind of senseless violence is just a constant reminder of how quickly things can go sideways.
