Emily Rose Taylor was 19 when she was killed on the night of November 6, 2023, in Estacada, Oregon. She was a passenger in a red Jeep Cherokee traveling southbound on Highway 211 near South Poplar Road with 30-year-old Jacob Allen Cutts. A silver Toyota Corolla or Camry pulled alongside and an occupant or occupants opened fire. Emily sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene around 10:50 p.m.; Cutts suffered a gunshot wound to his hand and was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The suspect vehicle fled with unknown Oregon plates and no arrests or public suspect identifications have been announced. The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office is investigating and asks anyone who saw the shooting or has information to contact the Sheriff’s Office Tip Line. Did anyone in the area see a silver Toyota matching that description that night or notice anything unusual on Highway 211?
