While the search for the individual who shot two officers continues, the Portland Police Bureau is grateful to share that one of the officers shot Monday night has been released from the hospital. He is a seven-year veteran of PPB and assigned to North Precinct. The second officer, a 17-year veteran of PPB assigned to North Precinct, remains hospitalized in stable condition.
On Tuesday afternoon, PPB Deputy Chief Chris Gjovik and Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez provided an update on the case.
In addition, detectives believe that some private security cameras and doorbell cameras may have captured critical video that may help identify the suspect in the shooting of the two PPB officers.
Detectives are focused on the area encompassing Northeast 15th Avenue to Northeast 19th Avenue and Northeast Broadway to Northeast Multnomah Street. They are asking that community members who live and work in that area upload all video that is saved on their systems from 7:00 p.m. on January 19 to 7:00 a.m. on January 20.
Community members are not required to review the video, look for anything specific, or verify that it captured any activity. If they wish to help, they should just upload the raw footage from each individual camera. Please do not edit, enhance, combine into “multiview,” or otherwise alter the footage. Please ensure the footage is in a standard file format and does not require a proprietary player. Detectives will review the video for potential clues.
QR code to upload video
PPB has created a link where community members can upload video directly to the Detective Division. If anyone has cameras, such as Ring cameras or other doorbell cameras, or surveillance cameras that show the street, sidewalk, or other public areas, please upload the raw footage to this website. PPB has also generated a QR code that can be scanned with a smartphone and will bring up the upload website.
There is no need to follow-up with PPB. A Detective may contact you at a later time if they have any questions. Please do not upload video from any other case. This link is reserved for this case only.
If anyone has information about this case, please contact detectives at [email protected] or call 503-823-0479 and reference case number 26-18537.
