HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY
A homicide investigation is underway at a Tigard hotel, where two people were
found dead early this morning.
At 1:30 AM, Tigard Police and officers from several neighboring agencies responded
to a call of a disturbance with a weapon at the Embassy Suites hotel (9000 SW
Washington Square Road). Witnesses reported hearing possible gunshots. After a
search of the building, officers found two men dead.
Investigators don't believe there's any ongoing threat to the community. Detectives
are working to identify a suspect in the case, who investigators believe left the
scene.
Although everyone connected with this incident who has been identified to this
point in the investigation is from Portland, we have not been able to connect this
incident to a separate overnight shooting at a hotel in Portland.
The Washington County Major Crimes Team is taking the lead in this investigation.
The victims won't be identified until next of kin are notified.
