Deangelo Augustus, 38, of Salem, Oregon, was one of two people killed in an evening shooting at the M. James Gleason Memorial Boat Ramp in Northeast Portland on July 13, 2024. Police were called just before 8 p.m. after reports of shots; officers found Augustus and 18-year-old Jmeire Asher already deceased. The county Medical Examiner determined both deaths were homicide by gunshot wound.

The Portland Police Bureau says the suspect or suspects had left before officers arrived and no arrests had been made as of the latest update. Detectives Brent Christensen and J.D. McGuire are asking witnesses or anyone with information to reference case number 24-174823 when coming forward.

Augustus moved to Northeast Portland from Atlanta at 16 and later faced adult charges of Aggravated Attempted Murder and Assault II after using a gun in a scare tactic; he served a nine-year sentence and reflected that those choices cost him his plan to join the U.S. Marine Corps. If anyone knew Deangelo or was near the Gleason boat ramp that evening, please share what was seen or heard with police.
