Two fatal shootings this week did not take place in outer East Portland; a pleasant change: Friday, June 23, saw two shooting homicides; one in the Hollywood area, one in the Lloyd District.

However, early on June 23, in outer East Portland, there was an outer East Portland injury shooting along the Springwater Trail.

June 23 at 2:33 a.m.

Portland Police Bureau (PPB) North Precinct officers were in the Hollywood District, near NE Sandy Boulevard and Cesar E. Chavez Boulevard when they heard gunfire nearby.

Moments later the officers located a vehicle crashed into a pole near NE Broadway and Cesar E. Chavez Boulevard. Officers found the driver deceased and the passenger injured. Both had wounds consistent with gunshots. This incident is Case No. 23-164650.

In the Lloyd District, PPB Central Precinct officers responded to a “Shooting-with-Weapon” call at NE 6th Avenue and Holladay Street.

When officers arrived, they located a wounded adult man and applied trauma first aid, while summoning emergency medical services. However the victim died at the scene. This is Case No. 23-165334.

Man arrested for shooting woman in Cully neighborhood

Officers cordon off the area while they investigate a shooting in a “manufactured home community”.

Another “Shooting-with-Weapon” call dispatched PPB North Precinct officers to a “manufactured home community” along NE Lombard Street, just west of 72nd Avenue.

When officers arrived in the area, behind the Cedar Shade Mobile Home Park, they found a female adult with a gunshot wound to her arm. The victim was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. After treatment, the victim was later released from the hospital.

More officers arrive to maintain the crime scene while the investigation continues.

Officers investigated and learned that the suspect was known to the victim, and they located him in a home within the residential park and detained him at the scene.
Detectives with the Enhanced Community Safety Team (ECST) responded and assumed the investigation.
