A late-evening shooting at a North Portland tavern ended the life of 56-year-old Charles Hassel on February 5, 2024. Police were called about 9:39 p.m. to a bar on North Lombard Street in the St. Johns neighborhood, where officers found Hassel dead from a gunshot wound; the medical examiner ruled his death a homicide.

Portland Police Bureau Homicide detectives identified a primary suspect, Harold Bob Dulaney, 53, and obtained an arrest warrant charging him with second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon. Dulaney was described as a 6 feet 3 inches, 260-pound Caucasian man with brown hair, hazel eyes, a hunched posture and frequent use of a cane; investigators released his photos and asked the public for help locating him.

On April 26, 2024, the U.S. Marshal’s Service Fugitive Task Force located and arrested Dulaney in Portland. He was taken to a hospital for treatment of pre-existing medical conditions before anticipated booking into the Multnomah County Detention Center.

If anyone was in the tavern that night or has information about Hassel’s last movements, please come forward.
