Portland police identify man killed in Hazelwood neighborhood shooting
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Authorities have identified the victim of a deadly shooting at an apartment complex in Portland’s Hazelwood neighborhood on March 9.
A medical examiner determined that Kevin Rhinehart, 33, died of homicide by gunshot wound at the Cascade Crossings apartment complex near 10500 E. Burnside after the shooting around 7 p.m.
No suspects were arrested at the time of the shooting, and an investigation remains ongoing.
One young man who spoke with KOIN 6 News said he heard 3 shots but didn’t think much about it until he looked outside and saw all the police arriving.
“I was talking to our friend on the phone, and I heard shots. I didn’t know if it’s going to be nearby, but then I looked outside. I saw a lot of crowds,” Christopher Cruz Ortiz said. “So then I went to check, and there was a lot of people. So I just imagined it might be here. And it was.”
