Eduardo Santana Lopez Jr., 29, was fatally shot just before 11 p.m. on October 11, 2022, in Portland’s Madison South neighborhood. Officers from the East Precinct responded to a shooting call in the 2600 block of Northeast 82nd Avenue and found Lopez Jr. at the scene with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead there and the Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death gunshot wounds.

Initial reports about a suspect conflicted. One account said police arrested someone seen running from the area with a gun, but an October 13, 2022 update from the Portland Police Bureau stated the person who fired the shots remained at the scene and was cooperating with homicide detectives. That individual was being detained for the investigation, but as of that update no arrests had been made and no charges filed. The police have not released a name or detailed description, and the investigation remains ongoing.
