Landlord evicts man accused of murdering new nurse Melissa Jubane

Bryce Schubert was living in the Washington County Jail following his arrest last month on charges of murdering his neighbor, newly minted nurse Melissa Jubane.

A new court filing reveals his landlord doesn’t want him back if he ever gets out.

On Oct. 15, lawyers for the Baseline 158 apartment complex in Beaverton filed an eviction lawsuit against Schubert, 27, and his 24-year-old girlfriend, demanding they vacate their apartment within 24 hours, citing an “extremely outrageous act.”

Jubane lived in Unit 513; Shubert in block 520. The apartments are located diagonally across the corridor from each other, according to the plan.

The lawsuit, filed by New York-based investment management fund Sentinel Real Estate, which owns the sprawling building, did not provide specifics, although it cited personal injury or significant property damage as potential defenses.

Schubert failed to appear in Washington County District Court, and a judge on Monday sided with his landlord.

More than 20,000 eviction lawsuits are filed in Oregon each year, and most of them use the same form. Sentinel Real Estate’s eviction attorney, Bradley Kraus, who answered a call from a secretary, said he declined to comment.

Jubane was returning from a picture-perfect wedding ceremony in Oahu when she was allegedly abducted and then murdered by Schubert on September 4.

Colleagues, family and friends were instantly concerned when a beloved nurse did not show up for work at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center that morning. stimulation of mass volunteer search until Beaverton police found her body three days later.

The government does not made public the motive in the case. Schubert, also a nurse, worked briefly at Providence but was never assigned to the same hospital as Jubane, the spokeswoman said.

Schubert has pleaded not guilty to second degree murder, Kidnapping in the first degree and abuse of a corpse in the second degree are charges that are often filed when a body is mutilated or otherwise mistreated in an attempt to hide it.

The Washington County Prosecutor’s Office withheld all details of the case they submitted a different form the defense said they will seek a higher sentence for second-degree murder, which carries a mandatory minimum of life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years.

So far, Shubert has not requested a bail hearing.
