Aloha man accused of attempted murder after June Old Town shooting
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- An Aloha man is facing assault and attempted murder charges after police say he fired shots at people in Portland's Old Town neighborhood in late June.
Officers originally responded to Northwest 6th Avenue and Glisan Street reports of the shooting the early morning of June 29.
Police said they found evidence a shooting had occurred and officers later interviewed a victim who claimed to have been shot at, but was uninjured.
After an investigation by PPB's Enhanced Community Safety Team, 21-year-old Marquez Goldsby II was identified as the suspect.
On Friday, police said the ECST responded to Goldsby's apartment in Aloha and requested a tactical team from the Washington County Sheriff's Office to aid in serving a search warrant due to the likely presence of firearms.
Goldsby was arrested and the apartment search yielded a handgun, which is not believed to be the weapon used in the shooting, PPB said.
Goldsby was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges of second-degree attempted murder, attempted first-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm.
