Convicted murderer sentenced to life in prison for Falls City, Oregon killing in 2024

FALLS CITY, Ore. — A 63-year-old was sentenced to life in prison for shooting and killing a man with a shotgun during a fight at a Falls City, Oregon property back in 2024.

A jury convicted Terry Lawrence Allwen of second-degree murder back on March 20, the Polk County District Attorney’s Office said.

He was sentenced Friday to serve life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years.

Allwen was also convicted of other charges like manslaughter, assault, and felon in possession of a firearm, but the sentences for those crimes will be served concurrently with the life sentence.

Court records show that Allwen was staying in an RV parked on a property owned by the victim, 79-year-old Bo Johnson.

At about 9 a.m. on May 31, 2024, Allwen and Johnson got into a verbal fight over some personal property. During that fight, Allwen got a shotgun from his trunk and shot Johnson once, killing him.

“Mr. Johnson had many more years to spend with his family. His senseless murder destroyed the dreams and plans of so many that loved him. I hope that the fact Mr. Allwen today received the maximum possible sentence will bring the family of Mr. Johnson some relief and sense of justice.”

If Allwen is granted parole, the judge also ordered that he have a lifetime of post-prison supervision.
