Daquan Taeshawn James Turner, 27, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of December 19, 2021, outside a bar on the 8000 block of Southeast Foster Road in Portland’s Mt. Scott-Arleta neighborhood. The incident began as a verbal dispute that escalated into a physical fight around 2:08 a.m. Turner became involved alongside his cousin; court documents say the cousin armed himself with a handgun and that the weapon discharged while Turner was attempting to disarm him.

Officers who arrived found Turner deceased. The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide by gunshot wound. Police arrested a 26-year-old man later the same day; he was identified as Turner’s cousin and was booked on charges including first-degree manslaughter, second-degree assault, and unlawful use of a weapon. Detectives said some witnesses may have left the scene without speaking to police and asked anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone in the Portland area have information about what happened that night or saw events outside the bar on Southeast Foster Road?
