Last night, police officers responded to a call of shots fired at a residence in the 14800 block of Northeast Fremont Court in the Wilkes neighborhood of outer east Portland.

According to a Portland Police Bureau news release, arriving officers found a deceased adult male at a residence. Immediately, they began searching the area for a suspect and called for Homicide Detectives and the Forensic Evidence Division.

Investigators are on scene and no additional details area available at this time as this is an active and ongoing investigation.

According to a news release from the Portland Police Bureau, this afternoon, officers pursued a northbound vehicle on Southeast 84th Avenue near Flavel Street  traveling at a high rate of speed.

Police got behind the vehicle on Southeast 82nd Avenue and followed it southbound as it attempted to elude officers.

1994 Honda Accord

Police pursued the vehicle onto Malden Street where the suspect vehicle did a rapid u-turn, then rammed the front of the patrol car, and sped away southbound on 82nd Avenue. The officers continued to pursue for a short distance but terminated the pursuit.

Early this morning, near 6 a.m., Portland Police officers responded to a burglar alarm at Madison High School, 2735 N.E. 82nd Ave.

Many officers arrived in the area and began setting up a perimeter around the school.

As officers and a police K-9 unit were staging to enter the building, two people ran out of the school and disappeared quickly into a fog bank.

Officers and the police dog began chasing the burglars on foot. During the chase, and likely due to the dense fog, the police dog bit one of the officers instead of the burglar.

This morning, around 4 a.m., East Precinct police officers went to a residence in the 12100 block of Southeast Bush Street with information the suspect in the October 6th shooting in Parkrose — 33-year-old Skylar Sherwood Shaffer — would be there.

Officers deployed around the location and, by loud speaker, announced their presence then demanded Shaffer come out, which he did and was arrested without incident.

Parkrose shooting suspect 33-year-old Skylar Sherwood Shaffer was arrested this morning.

Shaffer was transported to the Detective Division downtown where he was interviewed; he was later lodged in the Multnomah County Detention Center and charged with Attempted Aggravated Murder and is being held in lieu of $250,000 dollars bail.

Tonight, near 10 p.m., a home invasion robbery took place in the 2700 block of Northeast 102nd Avenue in east Portland’s Parkrose neighborhood.

Prior to arriving at the scene, officers learned there were three armed suspects wearing masks. A husband and wife and their adult son were the victims of the residential robbery.

The husband and wife suffered non-life threatening injuries in the course of the hold-up and were transported to a nearby hospital.  Police also report shots were fired inside the home by the suspects during the course of the robbery; it is believed one of the suspects was injured in the robbery.

A drug deal gone bad with gang overtones is the reason police investigators gave for shots fired in a usually quiet neighborhood of east Portland this afternoon.

When officers arrived, they learned occupants of two vehicles were involved in a confrontation leading to the shootings. One car and one house was hit by gunfire; no injuries were reported.

Northeast 107th Avenue and Oregon Street

Investigators cleared the scene on Oregon Street near 107th Avenue in the Lorene Park neighborhood after processing evidence and talking to witnesses. The investigation is continuing.

Early this morning, around 1 a.m., a police officer was driving east on Division Street at about Southeast 85th when he was flagged down by a motorist who told him a bicyclist had just been hit and run by a black SUV.

The officer immediately requested medical personnel to the scene to treat the cyclist, but soon after medical help arrived, the bicyclist was pronounced dead.  The same officer was approached by a 17-year-old bicyclist who had also been struck by the SUV.  The 17-year-old was transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Portland Police Homicide Detectives identified last night’s shooting victim as 19-year-old Vinesh Ram Prasad of North Portland.

The Oregon State Medical Examiner conducted an autopsy this morning and determined that Prasad died of a gunshot would to the chest.

Detectives need to hear from anyone with information about the shooting or about Prasad’s activities in the 48 hours prior to his death.

Detectives believe Prasad’s death may be gang-related and are working with the Gang Enforcement Team to follow-up any leads.

This is Portland’s 16th homicide in 2011 and 6th suspected gang-related homicide.

Near midnight last night, North Precinct police officers responded to a call of an injured 19-year-old male on Northeast Sandy Boulevard at 119th Avenue.

When police arrived, they found a man in the street believed to have been shot.  Medical personnel were called to the scene to treat the man, but shortly after their arrival, the man was pronounced dead.

On scene officers called for Homicide Detectives. The Forensic Evidence Division was also called to process the crime scene.  The Gang Enforcement Team was also on scene and assisting with the investigation.

No additional details are available at this time.

The three suspects apprehended after robbing Rounders Cafe, 11416 N.E. Halsey St. — 34-year-old Anthony Davonne Williams (also known as Antonio Denon Carter), 35-year-old Mckeever Watkins Thompson Jr., and 42-year-old Marc Edward Morrison — are not regarded as suspects by the police in the hold-up July 19 of a bar two doors down, Don’s Dugout, 11642 N.E. Halsey St. according to Detective Derek Posey.

“From what I know, it looks like the two are unrelated,” Posey said. “The Detective working that case (Don’s Dugout) hopes to make an arrest soon, but the two aren’t related.”
