Chester ’Chaz’ Eugene Newborn, 50, was shot and killed on the night of June 19, 2016, at Northwest 4th Avenue and Northwest Davis Street in Portland’s Old Town–Chinatown. Detectives said the shooting appeared connected to a drug transaction; gunfire was reported around 10:15 p.m. A 52-year-old woman nearby was struck in the leg and survived. Officers detained 48-year-old Thomas Lincoln Dorris minutes later near a Chevron on West Burnside Street and recovered a black Sig Sauer P250 9mm pistol on the counter.

Police and the medical examiner confirmed Newborn died of a gunshot wound. Dorris told investigators he acted in self-defense after an argument he said began when Newborn offered to sell him drugs and reached toward what Dorris believed was a pipe; he said he fired three times, which also wounded the bystander. Prosecutors noted there were no witnesses corroborating that account. Newborn’s family has spoken about the hole left in their lives.
