SCHOOL PARKING LOT SHOOTER SENT TO PRISON FOR 12 YEARS - 05/08/26

May 7, 2026

Portland, OR-Noureddine Dib, 43-years-old, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for the attempted murder of Michael Zakarneh. Given the circumstances of the shooting, prosecutors sought  more than the minimum sentence of 7.5 years. 

The defendant and victim arrived at the Islamic School of Portland on October 17, 2024 to pick their children from school. The two fathers had a disagreement in the parking lot that resulted in Mr. Dib shooting Mr. Zakarneh in the abdomen. Mr. Zakarneh fled for his life and the defendant continued to pursue him, shooting in his direction at least once more. Mr. Zakarneh leapt down a flight of stairs, towards the school, and shattered the bones in his right ankle. Mr. Dib chased Mr. Zakarneh around the school before going inside. Mr. Zakarneh escaped to a neighboring gas station where good samaritans rendered aid and called 911. The Portland Police Bureau arrested Mr. Dib without incident. 

In April, a Multnomah County jury convicted the defendant on the charges of Attempted Murder, Assault in the First Degree, Assault in the Second Degree, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Discharge of a Firearm, and Reckless Endangerment.

Deputy District Attorney Eric Palmer prosecuted the case for the state. Afterward he said:

“I think the sentence is appropriate for the circumstances. It does address not just the injury caused to Mr. Zakarneh but the fact that this occurred at a school, the last place an attempted murder should ever take place.”

The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office would like to thank Detectives Sara Clark and Laurent Bonczijk for their excellent work on this case.
