Portland Man Gets Life Sentence After Activist Bail Preceded Domestic Homicide

Prosecutors have moved to make the Portland Freedom Fund’s founder repay $18,000 of the bond.

Overview

  • Mohamed Adan, 36, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison for the 2022 killing of Rachael Abraham.
  • He will be eligible for parole after 25 years under the Multnomah County sentence.
  • The Portland Freedom Fund posted $2,000, the statutory 10% of Adan’s $20,000 bail, which led to his release days before the attack.
  • Senior prosecutor Melissa Marrero blamed the bail fund for contributing to Abraham’s death, and the district attorney’s office has filed to recover the remaining $18,000 from founder Amanda Trujillo.
  • Court records describe prior felony strangulation findings in the plea deal, a court-ordered GPS monitor that Adan removed, and children present in the home during the killing.
