No one has forgotten the death
of Aaron Campbell and forever will
his family be reminded of the son
who was shot by police last Janu­
ary. The Campbell family filed a
wrongful death suit Nov. 3 in U.S.
District Court against the Portland
Police Bureau and the city.
Left behind when 25-year-old
Campbell was killed were four young
children who need providing for,
his mother and stepfather said in a
statement, also expressing the diffi­
culties felt while watching a grand
ju ry ’s actions and responses of the
police union.
“From observing these events, it
has become clear that a lawsuit is
the most effective way to make pub­
lic all the facts,” the statement said.
The civil suit asks for an unspeci­
fied amount of economic and non­
economic damages from the city
along with punitive damages from
Aaron Campbell
the officers, namely Officer Ronald
Frashour, who fired the lethal shot.
Officer Frashour, another officer,
and two sergeants avoided suspen­
sion for improper use of deadly force.
While Frashour remains on paid
administrative leave, the other of­
ficers are back at work in North
Precinct.

Final plans have been made for
construction and financing of a new
East County Courthouse in the
R o ckw ood n e ig h b o rh o o d o f
Gresham.
The Multnomah County Com­
missioners voted last month to build
the facility, culminating years of
effort to replace the current leased
courthouse space in Gresham, which
is leaky, cramped and inadequate.
“As a long-time East Multnomah
County resident, I am very excited to
see this courthouse finally become a
reality,” said Commissioner Diane
McKeel. “This project will create new
jobs and provide a catalyst for eco­
nomic growth and development in
Rockwood and East County.”
Commissioner Judy Shiprack said
the facility will provide important
services to East County residents
without making them travel down­
town, while relieving a bit of pres­
sure on the downtown Courthouse.
The new courthouse will be built
on county-owned property at South­
east 185th Avenue and Stark Street
and also includes courtrooms, se­
curity, a data center and office space
for the Multnomah County District
Attorney’s office.
Officials estimate the courthouse
will cost $19.6 million to build.
Roughly $ 15 million of the costs will
he paid for with Recovery Zone
Economic Development (stimulus)
bonds.
