On the afternoon of January 16, 2023, Amado Nacho Santos, a 24-year-old Hispanic man, was shot while working a shift as a gas station attendant at a 76 station near Northeast 102nd Avenue and Glisan Street in the Hazelwood neighborhood of Northeast Portland. Police arrived shortly before 3 p.m. and found Santos with life-threatening gunshot wounds; he was taken to a nearby hospital and later died of a gunshot wound, the Medical Examiner ruling his death a homicide.

Family members describe Nacho as a cheerful, loving brother and son who wasn’t involved in gang activity. They believe he may have been a victim of mistaken identity and note he was wearing a blue bandana the day he was killed. No arrests have been announced and the Portland Police Bureau is still seeking the person or persons responsible. A memorial has been placed at the gas station by community members.

If anyone saw activity at that gas station around 2:30 to 3:00 p.m. on January 16, 2023, or has information that could help the investigation, please share what is known with the Portland Police Bureau.
