Lopez now faces three murder counts after a Lane County indictment tied the Fultz hit-and-run to a prior stabbing case.

An indictment is a charging document. It is not a conviction. The Lane County grand jury returned the indictment Thursday, Sept. 24, 2026, with a court hearing scheduled for Monday, Sept. 28, 2026. Three murder counts and a driver-duty count are accusations, and a scheduled hearing is not a result.

The indictment charges Lopez with first-degree murder in the death of Pam Fultz, on an allegation tied to intentionally causing the death of Randy Fultz, and with second-degree murder for Randy Fultz. It also charges failure to perform the duties of a driver to injured persons, for an Aug. 6, 2026, hit-and-run on Sixth Street near G Street. A separate second-degree murder count covers the Aug. 7, 2026, stabbing death of Glen Thuleson, 60. Lopez had previously been charged in that stabbing. Those are the counts as indicted. They are not findings.

Pam Fultz and Randy Fultz were both 73. Reporting says they were struck by a white SUV while walking. The vehicle allegedly continued, struck a Toyota Prius, made a U-turn, struck the pedestrians again, and drove away. Randy Fultz died at the scene. Pam Fultz died on Aug. 24, 2026, after hospitalization. A strike, a second strike, and two deaths are what the case alleges. They are not a verdict on first-degree murder, second-degree murder, or the driver-duty count.

Springfield police, as credited by Lookout Eugene-Springfield, described the Thuleson killing as a random attack in front of a business in the 2800 block of Gateway Street. A prior charge in that stabbing and a second-degree murder count in this indictment are accusations. A hearing was set for Monday, Sept. 28, 2026. A date on the calendar is not a plea, a ruling, or a result. Lopez, 36, of Springfield, is presumed innocent on all counts.
