Portland Police officers Sunday arrested a
14-year-old boy in connection with the last week's
shooting at Benson High School.
The suspect, police have reported, is a sus­
pected Crip gang associate who targeted a Benson
student attending last w eek’s Benson-Jefferson
volleyball game.
The investigation into the shooting began Oct.
21, at 7:38 p.m., when Portland Police officers
responded to the report o f a shooting at Benson
High School. As officers responded, school se­
curity immediately placed the Northeast Port­
land school on lock-down. At the time, a volley­
ball game between Benson and Jefferson was in
the gym and Portland Night High School was
holding classes for dozens o f students. There
were no reported injuries.
Officers located evidence that shots had been
fired around the front steps o f the school. Addi­
tional witness information was received that
suspects were seen running north on Northeast
12th Avenue toward the Lloyd Center MAX
platform, but a search of the neighborhood yielded
no suspects.
Gang Enforcement Team detectives began
interviewing witnesses and located the intended
victim, a 15-year-old boy who attends Benson.
Portland Police found probable cause to arrest
the 14-year-old male. A second person, a 15-
year-old male, was contacted during the arrest
and was also taken into custody for Unlawful
Possession o f a Firearm and Possession o f a
Short-Barreled Rifle after officers located a
saw ed-off rifle stuffed inside his pants, and
located the magazine for the rifle in the pocket o f
the 14-year-old shooting suspect. Both suspects
are brothers and suspected Crip gang associates.
D etectives learned through the investiga­
tion that the 14-year-old and his 15-year-old
brother w ent to Benson on Oct. 21 to watch
the volleyball gam e, and encountered the
15-year-old intended victim . Both suspects
w ere lodged at the M ultnom ah C ounty Juve­
nile D etention Center.
