On October 21, 2023, 17-year-old Chuy Copado Oropeza of Hillsboro, Oregon, was fatally shot at a house party near NE 32nd and NE Brogden after a vehicle approached the gathering and opened fire. Chuy was struck in the chest and died despite efforts to save him. A 16-year-old Liberty High School student was also wounded and is expected to recover.

Family remembered Chuy as a vibrant young man whose smile could light up a room, a persistent worker, a loyal friend, and someone who loved to learn and make others laugh. A GoFundMe organized by his brother Ignacio aimed to help cover funeral expenses; the community contributed and offered condolences.

The Hillsboro Police Department investigated and took two juveniles into custody for questioning. Anyone with information about the shooting is urged to come forward.
