A shooting in Portland’s Eliot neighborhood left a man dead on February 11, 2023. Officers responded around 2 p.m. near Northeast First Avenue and Northeast Hancock Street and found a man who had been fatally shot. The medical examiner later ruled the death a homicide from a gunshot wound, and the victim was identified just over two weeks later as 41-year-old Portland resident Torn Saephan.

Homicide detectives processed the scene and closed surrounding streets for several hours, but no arrests have been announced. Detectives are asking anyone with information to contact them and reference case number 23-38976.
