Manhunt in Oregon After Murder Suspect Freed by Erroneous Bail Order

Officials say a mistaken court form listed bail despite a denial, allowing Ty Anthony Sage to walk free, triggering a review.

Overview

  • Ty Anthony Sage, 26, remains at-large as law enforcement agencies across Oregon coordinate to locate and re-arrest him.
  • Sage was released Sept. 22 after a Sept. 17 release order indicated $5,000 bail, though court records show he had been denied bail.
  • Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O'Donnell called the error unacceptable, asserted ultimate responsibility, and announced a procedural review.
  • The sheriff's office says involved employees acted in good faith based on available information, and no staff have been placed on leave.
  • Sage is charged with second-degree murder and first-degree robbery in the 2021 killing of 15-year-old Lowgunn Ivey; an alleged accomplice remains in custody, and officials urge tips to 911 and describe Sage as 5-foot-10 with blond hair and blue eyes.
