A Sunday morning shooting in Portland’s Cully neighborhood claimed the life of 30-year-old Jose Valentin Perez on May 14, 2023. First responders found three victims around 3:34 a.m. in the 6500 block of Northeast Killingsworth Street; Perez was taken to a hospital but died of a gunshot wound. The medical examiner ruled his death a homicide and two other people sustained minor injuries.

Investigators identified a suspect and on October 27, 2023 a Multnomah County grand jury indicted 33-year-old Jesus Ivan Perez-Toribio on second-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, and second-degree assault. Authorities released his photo and description, seeking the public’s assistance in locating him; he is described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 7 inches tall, 160 pounds.

Perez lived in the St. Helens area, graduated from Madison High School, worked in construction, and was the father of two daughters, Anavey and Natalia Perez. If anyone has information about the shooting or the suspect’s whereabouts, please share what is known with law enforcement.
