HILLSBORO, Ore. — Editor's note: An arrest has been made in the shooting
One woman was killed in a shooting in Hillsboro early Sunday morning, according to the Hillsboro Police Department.
Police said this marks the second homicide in Hillsboro this year.
It happened around 12:45 a.m. at the Kim Red Rose bar on Southwest Oak Street near Tualatin Valley Highway.
Officers found a 42-year-old woman who had been shot and killed inside the bar when they arrived at the scene. No arrests have been made.
KGW spoke to Maria Ramos, who said she knew the victim.
"I got chills. I looked at my husband, I was just in shock because we knew her a long time, like 30 years," Ramos said.
She also said the victim worked at the bar.
"I saw that she was a great person, very loving, and I don't know why this happened to her," Ramos said.
Hillsboro police have not identified the woman who died. According to Hillsboro Police, it was initially reported that someone had shot the woman and drove off. Officers believe one person from a group of four who were asked to leave the establishment is responsible due to evidence left behind. Additional shots were also fired outside the bar.
Detectives believe that at least one vehicle in the parking lot was damaged by the gunshots and are asking anyone who parked in the lot to check their car.
Both the Hillsboro Police Department and Washington County Major Crimes Team are leading the investigation.
Detectives are looking for any information on the group of four who were asked to leave. Anyone who has information about this case or was at the bar during the incident is asked to please contact Detective Pat LaMonica at 503-681-6175.
