Portland Police Bureau officers were called for reports of a theft. PPB officers encountered a man allegedly “stealing electricity” from a nearby business, apparently using an outlet. It is unclear what this means but there is an RV encampment with unhoused community members in RVs and tents at the site which may have been plugged into the electric grid but details are still vague. Police arrived and state that “an altercation” occurred with a male in the encampment and police shot and killed him. Police specifically declined to answer the questions whether the man had been armed or threatened police somehow. Officer Justin Clary who killed Isaac Seavey had previously killed Billy Wayne Simms.
