A baseball-bat beating likely prompted the fatal shooting of a Hillsboro man in a strip-mall parking lot in 2022, a Washington County prosecutor said Thursday.
Enrique Tapia-Chavez was found guilty of second-degree murder during a jury trial in April for the execution-style shooting of 40-year-old Juan J. Moncivais outside the Su Casa Super Mercado at 1050 S.E. Walnut St. in Hillsboro, just after midnight on July 11, 2022.
