said. "If anyone was a witness, has video, or has information about the homicide, they're asked to contact the primary detectives."
Portland has been the site of nightly protests for more than three months since the police killing ofin Minneapolis. Many of them end in vandalism and violence, and hundreds of demonstrators have been arrested by local and federal law enforcement since late May. Supporters of President Donald Trump attend a rally and car parade, August 29, 2020, from Clackamas to Portland, Oregon.
The caravan had gathered earlier in the day at a suburban mall and drove as a group to the heart of Portland. As they arrived in the city, protesters attempted to stop them by standing in the street and blocking bridges. The Black Lives Matter demonstrations usually target police buildings and federal buildings. Some protesters have called for reductions in police budgets while the city's mayor and some in the Black community have decried the violence, saying it's counterproductive.
