A day after a bank robber with a knife left a path of destruction at a Beaverton shopping center and in suburban neighborhoods, family and friends began to absorb the death of the 72-year-old woman killed inside a Wells Fargo branch, the serious injury to her daughter who was with her and attacks on two other victims, including one stabbed in her driveway.

Janet Risch of Beaverton died at the scene and Debra Thompson, 53, of Beaverton was critically injured at the bank in the Murrayhill Marketplace, Washington County authorities said Thursday.

Risch was Thompson’s mother -- a “sweet lady” from a tight-knit family, neighbors said.

Beaverton police said both women were attacked by Salvador Martinez-Romero, 20, who was armed with a knife while inside the bank.

Martinez-Romero then left the bank and confronted Ian Day, 26, of Beaverton in the parking lot of Planet Fitness, police said. The suspect assaulted Day and stole his car, according to police.

Day was treated at a local hospital and released. Day’s father said his son is recovering.

Martinez-Romero headed south in Day’s car, toward Tigard. He confronted a woman named Martha Bashir, 50, in the driveway of her house in a neighborhood near Southwest Walnut Street.

Bashir was in her car getting ready to leave when a man pulled up behind her with what looked like a flat tire, said her husband, M. Bashir.

The man walked up with a knife and told her he needed to use her car, he said.

“She hesitated a bit and he proceeded to stab her,” Bashir said. The man wounded his wife in the in the leg, back and rib cage.

The man then yanked Martha Bashir out of the car and got in. Martha Bashir limped up the driveway and into the house, and while the suspect was still “fiddling with the car,” the couple’s daughter called 911.

By the time police arrived, the man had left. Martha Bashir was taken to OHSU Hospital and released. “She’ll recover,” her husband said. “But it’ll take time.”

Police said Martinez-Romero drove Bashir’s car to the 11700 block of Oregon 99 in Tigard, then abandoned the car and fled on foot.

Officers captured Martinez-Romero a short time later near Southwest Pacific Highway and Southwest Dartmouth Street. A nearby school, Westside Christian, was placed on lockdown.

Neighbors of Janet Risch said she was a great-grandmother and longtime resident.

“Her family was extremely close -- her daughters would come and go,” said Marilyn Horton, who lived across the street. “It’s a shock.”

“She was a quiet woman," said next-door neighbor D.W. Johnson. "She took good care of her yard. Just a good person.”

Thompson and her husband, Sean Thompson, live close to the Beaverton shopping center where the stabbing occurred, a family friend said. They have two sons in their 20s. Thompson previously worked for Verizon phone company.

"She’s a very, very social, outgoing person. She loves everybody,'' said Austin Stone, a friend of one of her sons. He said Debra Thompson used to volunteer to be an extra in movies and had appeared in one or two Netflix shows.

Martinez-Romero was arraigned Thursday afternoon in Washington County Circuit Court on accusations of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and first-degree robbery. He wore a light green jail shirt as he was led into the courtroom at the Law Enforcement Center housed in the sheriff’s office headquarters.

He did not enter a plea during the hearing, but his defense lawyer said he would plead not guilty at a hearing scheduled for next week. A law enforcement source briefed on the investigation said Martinez-Romero was born in Oregon.

Police say Martinez-Romero’s suspected crime spree began at the Murrayhill Marketplace, a retail destination and de facto town square for hundreds who live in apartment complexes and residential blocks surrounding it in suburban Washington County.

They have released few other details as authorities sealed court documents related to the case.
