Szachary Tyler White, 21, of Vancouver, Washington, was shot and killed the evening of August 17, 2025, in a remote area south of Estacada, Oregon. He and others were at a well-known informal shooting pit near Six Tie Road and Forest Service Road 4510 when he sustained a life-threatening gunshot wound. A call for help went out just before 8:15 p.m., and companions placed him in a private vehicle to drive toward medical care. Deputies intercepted the vehicle on South Hillockburn Road and provided aid until paramedics arrived.

A Life Flight helicopter was summoned with plans to meet the ambulance at the Estacada Fire Station, but Szachary died from his injury before he could be airlifted. The Clackamas County Medical Examiner’s Office is handling the official cause and manner of death. The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate, says there is no known ongoing danger to the public, and has not identified or arrested any suspect. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office Tip Line.
