Fight in front of pub leaves one dead. Man arrested

GRESHAM — A fight outside a pub left one man fatally beaten, Oregon police said.

On November 6, 35-year-old David Lomas was found unconscious in front of a “video lottery establishment” and was taken to a hospital, where he later died, Gresham officers said on Facebook.

Detectives learned Lomas had been involved in a fight outside the Platinum Pub with Richard Henderson, 35, before he collapsed, police said.

An autopsy determined his cause of death was blunt force trauma, police said.

Officers didn’t say what led to the fight or if the two knew each other.

Police went to Henderson’s home to execute a search warrant, and he was taken into custody and booked into the Multnomah County Jail on a manslaughter charge, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to email detective Martin.Daly@GreshamOregon.gov.

Gresham is about a 20-mile drive southeast from Portland.
