DJ Quik and Scarface
Shot Fired at the Crystal Ballroom
A shot was fired in the early morning hours
during a DJ Quik and Scarface concert at the
Crystal Ballroom on Saturday, August 12th. No
injuries have been reported.
The famous downtown Portland venue was
evacuated after the shooting, around 12:41 a.m.
Police said in a news release that the suspect
left immediately after a gun was fired and that
there may have been an argument just before
the shooting occurred. The rap legends DJ Quik
and Scarface had to cut their performance short.
Witnesses described the gunman as a black
man in his 30s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and
wearing a striped shirt. Anyone with informa-
tion is asked to call the non-emergency line at
503-823-3333.
