On the morning of September 23, 2016, gunfire was reported in the Centennial neighborhood of Southeast Portland just before 11:00 a.m. Responders found 45-year-old Michael Scott Hoven inside a home in the 1700 block of Southeast 162nd Avenue; he had died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Oregon State Medical Examiner.

Witnesses said a man and a woman ran from the house after the shooting, and a suspicious vehicle was later found abandoned several blocks away. Investigators developed two suspects: 38-year-old Felauai Satele and Jessica Lynne Hutchinson. Surveillance footage and court filings describe Hutchinson driving Satele and a third person to Hoven’s residence; Hutchinson entered first, Satele followed with his face covered and a gun, and an exchange of gunfire occurred. Hoven was killed; Satele and Hutchinson were injured and fled.

Felauai Satele was arrested on an outstanding murder warrant in Vancouver, Washington, on October 21, 2016. The case was prosecuted as a planned robbery that turned deadly. If anyone knew Michael Scott Hoven or has information about the events that morning, please come forward.
