Gresham Police investigating May 13 shooting

UPDATE 5/23/25

A third youth has been arrested in connection with a Gresham drive-by shooting. Police responded to a report of a shooting in the 3500 block of SE Richey Road in the early hours of May 13. At the scene, officers found shell casings in the street and a nearby home that had been struck by gunfire; however, none of the occupants of the home were injured.

A short time later, Jeffery Daniel arrived at a local hospital in a private vehicle. Daniel was in extremely critical condition when he arrived at the hospital. The vehicle Daniel arrived in was found to have been stolen and two youth who arrived with him were detained. 

Following an investigation, detectives determined Daniel and three juveniles, including the two detained at the hospital, had committed the drive-by shooting on Richey Road. During the shooting, gunfire from another occupant of the car struck Daniel, fatally injuring him. The two youth detained at the hospital were arrested and charged with attempted murder and other crimes.

Detectives tracked the third shooting suspect to a residence in northeast Portland. On Tuesday afternoon, May 20, investigators with the Major Crimes Team, assisted by the Portland Police Bureau Special Emergency Reaction Team, served a warrant and took the final suspect into custody. 

Despite the best efforts of hospital staff, Daniel died of his injuries on the afternoon of May 17. With Daniel’s death, the three juvenile suspects, all 16-years-old, are now facing charges of murder, attempted murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and conspiracy. 

The vehicle used in the shooting has been located. 

Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to contact Detective Huffman at Frederick.Huffman@GreshamOregon.gov or Detective Snider at Tim.Snider@GreshamOregon.gov.

The Gresham Police Department would like to thank our law enforcement partners, including the Portland Police Bureau, Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, Port of Portland Police Department, Oregon State Police, and the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office for their assistance with this investigation. 

UPDATE 5/14/25

Gresham Police detectives have arrested two 16-year-olds in connection with the shooting that occurred early Tuesday morning in the 3500 block of SE Richey Road.

Just before 4:00 am on May 13, officers responded to reports of gunfire in the area. Upon arrival, they located shell casings in the street and a nearby residence that had been struck by bullets. No injuries were found at the scene.

A short time later, a local hospital notified police that an individual with a gunshot wound had arrived in a private vehicle. That vehicle, a silver 2009 Subaru Impreza with Oregon license plate 737LQM, left the hospital before officers could make contact. Investigators have since determined the Subaru was reported stolen. The vehicle may have a black wheel on the rear driver’s side. The individual remains in critical condition.

Following an investigation, the two 16-year-old suspects were taken into custody and lodged at the Donald E. Long Juvenile Detention Center. Both face multiple charges, including:

• Attempted Murder in the Second Degree (8 counts)
• Unlawful Use of a Weapon
• Conspiracy

Detectives believe these incidents are connected, and the investigation remains ongoing.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the current whereabouts of the silver Subaru Impreza is urged to contact Detective Huffman at Frederick.Huffman@GreshamOregon.gov or Detective Snider at Tim.Snider@GreshamOregon.gov.
