The victim, a white man, was wearing a hat with the insignia of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer, an Associated Press freelance photographer reported.
Portland Police are asking for help in the case:
“Homicide detectives are aware of videos circulating on social media that show the shooting,” the department wrote in a statement. “It is important for detectives get a full and accurate picture of what happened before, during, and after the shooting. If anyone was a witness, has video, or has information about the homicide, they’re asked to contact the primary detectives.”
The riots and demonstrations in Portland have gone on now for almost three straight months.
