Nightclub Owner's Violent Past Resurfaces in New Arrest

Larry Hurwitz, formerly of Portland, is back in custody in Clackamas County, Oregon, facing new allegations of domestic violence and a parole violation. He was arrested last week in Sandy, with charges including harassment and fourth-degree assault. Hurwitz is currently held on a $500,000 bail.

This arrest is particularly notable as Hurwitz was convicted in 2000 for the 1990 murder of his 21-year-old employee, Tim Moreau. Moreau's body was never discovered, and Hurwitz had a history of offenses, including a drug trafficking conviction in California after his initial release.

Hurwitz, once the owner of the Starry Night Concert Hall, had pleaded no contest to the murder charges. His parole supervision, which began after his 2008 early release, was revoked in August 2019. He is currently serving lifetime post-prison supervision. Hurwitz is scheduled for court appearances in February and March 2026.
