On the evening of August 27, 2020, 16-year-old Jaelin James Scott, a Black male, was shot at Gateway Discovery Park in Portland’s Hazelwood neighborhood and later died of a gunshot wound; the Oregon State Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide. The shooting, reported at about 9:02 p.m., wounded four people in total. Three other victims, described as young adults, were expected to survive and all four were transported to hospitals after officers arrived and secured the area.

Portland Police detectives canvassed the park and conducted an investigation, but by September 1, 2020 the bureau said it had no actionable suspect information. A reward of up to $2,500 was offered through Crime Stoppers of Oregon for information leading to an arrest. No arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly announced in Jaelin’s murder.

If anyone was at Gateway Discovery Park that night or has information about who fired the shots, please share what is known.
