On the night of August 7, 2016, 53-year-old Ricky Pineda McKowen was shot and killed during a dispute with his landlord in Milwaukie, Oregon. Reports say McKowen, an ex-military member, and the landlord were involved in an altercation that escalated to gunfire; the landlord was arrested at the scene and told authorities he had been threatened and shot McKowen in self-defense.

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office investigated the killing and the Clackamas County District Attorney’s Office reviewed the evidence. The DA announced no criminal charges would be filed, concluding the landlord acted in self-defense and the landlord was released. Beyond that determination, official accounts leave the central events of the confrontation described as self-defense.

If anyone knew Ricky Pineda McKowen or was in Milwaukie that night, did you witness the dispute or hear anything that could add clarity?
