A July morning shooting in North Portland left 21-year-old Jalen Hudson dead. Around 11:04 a.m. on Sunday, July 20, 2025, officers responded to the 9300 block of North Newman Avenue after reports of gunfire and found Hudson suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. A sergeant at the scene performed life-saving measures, but Hudson was later pronounced dead. The Oregon State Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death as gunshot wounds and the manner of death homicide.

Portland Police Bureau Homicide detectives opened a prompt investigation. As of late July 2025 no arrests had been announced and authorities released no information identifying a suspect. Detectives asked residents and businesses in the New Columbia area for security and doorbell camera footage from about 10:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. the morning of the shooting, saying that footage could help identify a suspect and clarify what happened.

If anyone has footage, witnessed the shooting, or knew Jalen Hudson, please contact Portland Police Bureau Homicide with information.
