On October 11, 2023, a road-rage confrontation in downtown Portland ended with Ryan Martin, 47, fatally shot at the intersection of Southwest 10th Avenue and Southwest Alder Street. After exchanging gestures, Martin drove around the SUV, parked, approached the driver’s side and tapped on the window. The driver, identified as Geoffrey E. Hammond, allegedly loaded a gun, rolled down the window and shot Martin in the chest. Martin collapsed and was later pronounced dead at the scene by the medical examiner.

A bystander, Sam Gomez, who was recording from about 15 feet away, was reportedly shot in the leg after the initial shooting. No weapons were found on either victim, and investigators said they found no evidence supporting a claim of self-defense. Hammond was detained after calling 911 and admitting to shooting both men. Does anyone have additional information about the moments leading up to the confrontation or eyewitness observations from Alder Street that afternoon?
