Andre Lashun Foster, a 43-year-old Black/African American man, was killed in a shooting in Northeast Portland during the early hours of January 1, 2022. Officers were called to the 4400 block of Northeast 131st Place at about 1:47 a.m., where three male victims were found. Foster and his 21-year-old nephew, Quayan Johnell Foster, died of gunshot wounds; a third man survived with non-life-threatening injuries. The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the deaths homicides.

The shooting occurred at an apartment complex near Northeast Sandy Boulevard and 131st Place. Police secured the scene and launched an investigation, but the person or people responsible fled and no arrests have been announced. The Portland Police Bureau’s Homicide Unit has appealed for public help and a reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest.
