Shortly after 7 a.m., officers were dispatched to a welfare check at a residence in the 17900 block of SE Market St. They discovered the occupant of the residence deceased under suspicious circumstances. Detectives determined the victim died by homicidal violence and identified a suspect. Late this morning, investigators located the suspect in the area of SE Pine St and SE 99th Ave in Portland. They requested assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force in taking the suspect into custody. The suspect fled during the arrest attempt and an officer-involved shooting occurred.
During the shooting, PPB K9 Kylo was fatally wounded. K9 Kylo was a true protector of the peace. We ask our community to keep the officers and professional staff of the Portland Police Bureau in your thoughts as they honor K9 Kylo’s legacy and sacrifice.
The Gresham Police Department and East County Major Crimes Team are leading the investigation into the homicide. Anyone with information is asked to call the GPD tip line at 503-618-2719.
