Isaiah Demetrius Kent, a 28-year-old Black man, was shot just before 6 p.m. on February 25, 2016, near Northeast 6th Avenue and Alberta Street in Portland’s King neighborhood, adjacent to King K-8 School. He was taken to a hospital and died shortly before midnight, recorded as Portland’s first homicide of 2016.

Detectives described the shooting as appearing to be gang-related. Within two days police arrested 34-year-old Clifford Lee Moffett and 24-year-old Terry Lee Spencer Jr.; initial charges included murder, attempted murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and felon in possession of a firearm. Neighbors and family held a candlelight vigil at the scene, calling for an end to gun violence after a shooting so close to a school and apartment complex.

Available reports do not provide the final court outcomes for the arrested men. Did anyone in the King neighborhood see or hear anything that night, or have information about what led up to the shooting?
