PORTLAND — An 82-year-old Portland man who was attacked at a bus stop near Portland State University in June has died, police said.
Police said this week that Donald Pierce died July 7 of blunt force trauma, after he and 88-year-old Edward Lichtenstein were knocked to the ground and beaten around 8:30 p.m. June 25, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.
Police were responding to an unrelated call nearby when they came across the assault and arrested 29-year-old Keffer White.
Before Pierce’s death, prosecutors charged White with two counts of attempted murder and counts of first- and second-degree assault. He pleaded not guilty to all charges on July 6, court records show.
