On the morning of Friday, July 31, 2026, officers were called to a Portland hospital after a man with serious injuries arrived. The man, identified as 30-year-old Stephen O. Varlamov of Portland, died at the hospital. The Oregon State Medical Examiner later ruled his death a homicide caused by gunfire, and homicide detectives treated the case as a shooting.

Detectives identified the scene as a parking lot in the 9200 block of Southeast Clinton Street. Patrol officers arrested a suspect the next day, Saturday, August 1, 2026: 45-year-old Jacob Ryan Clement of Portland. Clement was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on a charge of Murder in the Second Degree. Authorities have not released a motive, and the investigation is ongoing.

If anyone has information about Varlamov, his movements that morning, or the shooting at the Southeast Clinton Street parking lot, please share what you know with investigators.
