On arrival, they found a man — later identified as 51-year-old O’Marr Burnett — badly injured.
Although he was taken to a hospital, Burnett died two days later.
The Medical Examiner found Burnett died of “homicidal violence,” according to PPB.
“It was pretty unsettling idea that somebody right here gets killed like that. Nobody knows who did it,” said one woman. “He seemed like a really decent guy.”
Police say no arrests have been made and the incident is under investigation.
Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to contact Portland police.
