Suspect arrested in deadly Graham shooting spree in Oregon

A man was arrested in Oregon on Wednesday in connection with a fatal shooting that occurred during a dispute over a motorcycle in Graham earlier this week.

According to the Pierce County Sheriff's Department (PCSD), the suspect was tracked down and arrested by Oregon State Police in Clackamas County, Oregon.

On Monday, September 23, at approximately 1:45 a.m., officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 207 block of 92nd Avenue East. Upon arrival, they found a 36-year-old man who had been shot. An injured 48-year-old man went to a nearby fire station and was later transported to a hospital.

According to PCSD Sergeant Darren Moss, the incident began with a group of people staying at a house, then going to a neighbor's house and arguing over a motorcycle that had either been borrowed or loaned to someone. The suspect then drove up and began shooting at the group, he said.

Moss told FOX 13 that the shooting was a targeted incident and there was no danger to the public.

A description of the suspect was never released, but Moss said officers knew who he was. After probable cause to arrest the suspect was established, the Pierce County District Attorney's Office issued a warrant for his arrest.

“Our investigators did an excellent job obtaining an arrest warrant for this suspect before he could go into hiding,” said a PCSD police report.

Further information about the suspect is currently limited.
