Gresham man stabbed 86-year-old in Fred Meyer parking lot before trying to steal Porsche

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A Gresham man was sentenced to more than six years in prison on Friday after he stabbed an elderly man three times before trying to steal his Porsche in Dec. 2024.

Jesus Ascenio-Molina, 31, pleaded guilty to second-degree robbery and second-degree assault.

On Dec. 27, 2024, Ascenio-Molina came up to the 86-year-old man while he was loading groceries into his car at a Fred Meyer on 82nd Ave.

“(Ascenio-Molina) told the man he admired the man’s car, a 2011 Porsche Panamera, and twice asked for the keys. When the victim refused, (he) stabbed him twice in the back and once in the right ribcage,” the Clackamas County DA’s Office said.

Ascenio-Molina fled to a nearby apartment complex, but he was arrested two hours later.

“I’m happy seeing this guy off the street,” the victim said prior to the sentencing.

Ascenio-Molina apologized to the victim in court and said that he “wasn’t thinking straight.”
