PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Officials have identified the man shot and killed by authorities in Clackamas County Monday night as the suspect of a deadly shooting at Southeast Portland’s Fantasyland.
The Portland Police Bureau announced Wednesday that the man – who has yet to be named – was a suspect in the April 23 shooting of 29-year-old Zachery Freeman, who had been inside the adult store and smokeshop at the time of his death.
A Fantasyland employee, who asked to remain anonymous, told KOIN 6 News he knew the victim by name.
“He’s a regular customer here,” the employee said. “He comes here, like, every freaking day.”
He told KOIN 6 News a fight broke out between the regular and another customer before the shots were fired inside Fantasyland.
The next day, authorities say the suspect died after sustaining injuries in a shooting with PPB officers and Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office deputies.
According to police, the officer-involved shooting occurred shortly before 11 p.m. on Southeast 82nd Avenue near the Clackamas Square shopping center.
