Gabriel Scott Riley
A Douglas County grand jury on Wednesday indicted Gabriel Scott Riley on charges of aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, first-degree assault and first-degree arson, the District Attorney's Office announced today.
The 29-year-old Indio, Calif., man is accused of attacking his adoptive parents, Lindi and Craig Riley, while visiting their home just outside Sutherlin on March 10.
Lindi Riley, 57, was found dead inside a burned-out bedroom at the couple’s Rogers Court home, while her husband was rushed to the hospital with severe burns and a cut to his neck. Craig Riley, 56, remained hospitalized for several weeks before returning to Sutherlin.
The jury accused Gabriel Riley of three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder, two counts of first-degree assault and two counts of first-degree arson.
An aggravated murder conviction carries potential maximum penalties of life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death sentence.
A future court date for Riley has yet to be scheduled. He has been held in the Douglas County Jail without bail since June 7, when he was transferred from Riverside, Calif.
He has been in custody since the day of the attack, when he was arrested after his commercial flight from Medford landed at the Palm Springs, Calif., airport.
Riley fought extradition out of California, which delayed his transfer to Oregon.
