Second deadly shooting in a week
Posted by: Cornelius Swart on Jun 22, 2010The weather is mild, but relatively dry and all ready crime seems to be picking up in North Portland. Yesterday's homicide represents the second such shooting in New Columbia, the state's largest public housing community, and the second homicide in recent weeks.

Portland Police Investigate Shooting
Posted: June 11, 2010 07:37 PM
Last night at approximately 1:00 a.m., Portland Police Officers responded to a vehicle accident in the area of the 8900 Block of E. Burnside Street. When they arrived, they found three people in a vehicle that had hit a pole and eventually crashed into a yard of a residence in the area. The driver, a 32-year-old male, had life threatening injuries and was transported to OHSU Hospital and died several hours later. One of the passengers was also transported to the hospital and is recovering from non-life threatening injuries.
At this time, investigators believe that the driver was shot just prior to the accident but are awaiting autopsy results. Homicide Detectives have been assigned to this case and an autopsy is scheduled to be performed later today. No arrests have been made in this incident and this is an ongoing investigation. The Gang Enforcement Team was also called to the scene to investigate any possible gang activity that might be tied to this case.
The identity of the victim will be released after family notification has been made.
