On August 8, 2015, 27-year-old Kevin Dewayne Varnado of Gresham, Oregon, was killed in a shooting and was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident appears to have been a violent confrontation in which Varnado sustained fatal gunshot wounds.

Investigators identified two people who were involved and injured in the same incident: Malcom Xavier Jesse, then 21, and Collett Renee Harris, 29.
