PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A man died early Tuesday morning after officers responded to a shooting near the Glass House Tavern in Northeast Portland.
Portland police said they received a report of gunfire around 1:30 a.m.
When officers arrived at 9710 NE Sandy Blvd. they found a man — later identified as 27-year-old Tajheondre M. Price of Eugene — lying on the sidewalk suffering from at least one gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy showed that he died from multiple gunshot injuries.
