Oregon Murder Suspect Recaptured After Mistaken Jail Release

The sheriff blames a misread court order, prompting an internal review.

Overview

  • Ty Anthony Sage, charged with second-degree murder in the 2021 killing of 15-year-old Lowgunn Ivey, was taken into custody without force at a gas station in Florence, Oregon, with help from the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.
  • He had been released on Sept. 22 after posting $5,000, despite reports that a judge had denied bail days earlier.
  • A preliminary review by the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office cites misinterpretation of a Sept. 17 court order as the cause of the release.
  • After the rearrest, officials said Sage will be held at the Multnomah County Detention Center on a no-bail hold.
  • The victim’s mother, Jodie Ramsey, voiced anger over the mistake and is considering legal action, according to local reports.
