"Now is the time for all of us to come together to send a clear message to those engaged in gun violence ... that we will not allow them to define our city or become the new normal," said Chief Chuck Lovell. "Help us to locate the perpetrators, provide tips and information and find other options for those who may be at risk of becoming the next shooter or victim. Together, we can stop this scourge, but first we need to work as one in memory of the too many lives lost for a safer tomorrow."
The killing of Harris happened just hours after a deadly shooting in Southwest Portland, and hours before another deadly shooting at Southeast 136th Avenue and Powell Boulevard.
