On April 8, 2022, 33-year-old Fars Gebrehiwot was shot in the neck beneath the Burnside Bridge on Northwest Naito Parkway in Portland, Oregon. Witnesses described a sudden, chaotic scene: one bystander heard a loud bang, then saw a man in a ski mask and flip-flops running toward Couch Street while Gebrehiwot bled and collapsed. Paramedics transported him to a hospital, but he died of his injuries; the state medical examiner ruled the death a homicide.

An arrest followed soon after. Eighteen-year-old Rizo Eonte Lucas was taken into custody and booked at the Multnomah County jail, held without bail, and charged with second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon in connection with Gebrehiwot’s death. Family members were notified and released a photograph while asking for privacy as they grieved.

Are there witnesses or anyone with information about the moments before or after the shooting who can help clarify what happened?
