Anthony J. Garland, 44, was fatally shot in Portland’s Lloyd District on the evening of Tuesday, September 10, 2024. Officers found Garland deceased near Northeast Grand Avenue and Northeast 6th Avenue at about 5:30 p.m., and the Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death a homicide by gunshot.

Portland Police Bureau Homicide Unit investigators developed information identifying 31-year-old Estabon Ramirez as a suspect. After the Multnomah County District Attorney’s office requested charges, an arrest warrant was issued and detectives circulated an informational flyer to other law enforcement agencies.

On the morning of Friday, September 27, 2024, a Central Precinct patrol officer recognized Ramirez while searching for a different suspect near Northwest 14th Avenue and Northwest Couch Street. Backup arrived, officers took Ramirez into custody, and he was transported to the Detective Division before being booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on a warrant for Murder in the Second Degree and Unlawful Use of a Weapon; he also had four unrelated arrest warrants. The family of Garland was notified of the arrest.
