PORTLAND, Oregon — A man was shot and killed Saturday morning in the Parkrose neighborhood in Northeast Portland.
Just before 6:30 a.m., Portland Police Bureau (PPB) officers responded to a call of someone who'd been shot at 11300 NE Sandy Blvd near Northeast 112th Avenue.
When police arrived, they found 34-year-old Joseph Douglas Dewey who was unresponsive. Officers attempted life-saving measures but said Dewey died on scene.
The Oregon State Medical Examiner (OSME) determined that Dewey died of a gunshot wound. His death has been ruled a homicide.
No arrests have been made and there is no suspect information available at this time.
At the time, PPB was investigating two other shootings, including one downtown that left a woman dead and at least six other people injured. Police said the three shootings stretched their investigative resources thin.
