A 36-year old Coquille male is facing a mandatory Life Sentence following a Coos Co. Circuit Court Jury Trial that found Manuel Daniel Delgado Jr. guilty of Murder & Assault in the First Degree, Wednesday, June 26, at Coquille. According to a news release from District Attorney R. Paul Frasier, Delgado will be sentenced July 5, 2019 for killing 45-year old Gregory Durham and severely injuring 51-year old Michael Lucas. “The charges arose from a police investigation that began at approximately 1:30 AM on June 23, 2018” when Lucas was brought to Coquille Valley Hospital with severe blunt force trauma. He also had two knife wounds. The suspect in the assault was identified as Delgado. He was reportedly staying with Durham on SE 3rd Ave. Police obtained a search warrant to enter the residence after no one responded to repeated attempts at contact. “When they gained access to the home they found Manuel Delgado Jr. in bed in a bedroom next to the bathroom of the residence.” The body of Durham was found in the bathroom. He died from stab wounds.
