On June 20, 2016, 21-year-old Yusef Sharif was fatally shot around 8:30 a.m. while walking near Southwest 167th Avenue and Southeast Blanton Street in a residential area of Aloha, Oregon. The daytime killing shocked a typically quiet, family-oriented neighborhood; police cars and yellow tape were reported on the street and families used a nearby park.

Investigators initially considered a possible drive-by, but later concluded the assailant had stopped his vehicle and confronted Sharif. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office appealed to the public for information. The next day, members of a U.S. Marshals Task Force located and arrested 21-year-old Roger Gastelmum Medina of Beaverton. Medina was charged with murder and held on $250,000 bail. Authorities said the shooting followed a confrontation between Medina and Sharif over an unspecified issue and that they did not believe it was racially motivated.

If anyone saw the confrontation that morning or has information about what led up to it, please share what is known.
