PORTLAND, Ore. — A teen is facing a murder charge, three weeks after the deadly shooting of a man in Southeast Portland, according to Portland police.
Officers responded to a shooting on Nov. 15 at a business near Southeast 122nd Avenue and Clinton Street. They found Justin D. Sartin, also known as Justin Sartin-Scott, with a gunshot wound. He was taken to the hospital where he died. The medical examiner determined that the 25-year-old died from a gunshot wound and ruled his death a homicide.
