Portland, OR – Portland police are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred Wednesday morning at the Quality Inn motel, located in the 8200 block of Northeast Sandy Boulevard. The incident marks the second deadly shooting at this location in the past two weeks, raising concerns about rising violence in the area.
Officers responded to the scene early Wednesday, securing the parking lot with police tape and setting up a mobile command center. Several police vehicles were also seen in the area as investigators worked to gather information and piece together the events leading up to the shooting.

As police continue to investigate, the community remains on edge, with many concerned about the safety of public spaces in the city. The Portland Police Bureau has not confirmed whether the two shootings are connected.
The investigation is still in its early stages, and police have urged anyone with information about the shooting to come forward.
