PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The man who died after being stabbed in Portland’s Old Town neighborhood has been identified.
On Friday, Portland police named 53-year-old Mark Anthony Davis as the victim of the fatal stabbing that occurred on September 30.
Officers reportedly responded to Northwest Broadway and Northwest Couch Street just after 8:30 p.m. that night and found Davis critically injured. Paramedics declared him dead at the scene.
This was the second of two Old Town stabbing deaths that happened within just nine hours of each other. The Portland Police Bureau says this was the city’s 71st homicide of 2022.
The suspect, Kalil C. Ford, 20, was detained at the scene and is facing charges of second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon.
On Sept. 28, Portland police arrested and booked Ford after he allegedly assaulted a woman. While Ford was booked on a fourth-degree assault charge, court documents show that a judge released him from jail the following day on Sept. 29.
