Michelle Washington, Jason Washington’s widow, spoke to the board at the time and begged them to stop arming campus police. “I know the decision’s been made and there’s nothing we can do,” she said. “But I pray that one day you guys change your mind, hopefully sooner than later, so this doesn’t happen to anyone else.” PSU Interim President Stephen Percy said Washington’s death was tragic and “our campus com- munity mourns his loss.” Percy said the shooting has made the university reassess its approach to campus safety, which included hiring an independent public safety consultant who led several campus forums and pro- duced a report with lengthy rec- ommendations.

Michelle Washington respond- ed to the settlement of the lawsuit in the prepared statement between her and PSU. “We have come to a resolution that acknowledges our profound loss. However, the pain and emp- tiness that we are consumed with daily will be part of us for the rest of our lives,” she stated. “Our goal is that these changes will bring about awareness and help prevent this type of tragedy from ever occurring again. We pray that no family will ever endure the pain and suffering of losing someone as irreplaceable as Jason.” “He fiercely advocated for all Portlanders and always led with compassion, wit and intelligence,” Mayor Ted Wheeler said. “He was instrumental in shaping Portland for the better and I often sought his advice and guidance.” Multnomah County Commis- sioner Deborah Kafoury said Fish “was such a good friend to so many people because he cared so much about people. He was a very special person and I’m very sad.” Daryl Turner, president of the Portland Police Association, said Fish was a champion of the peo- ple. “He cared about the most vul- nerable, he loved our city and he was a fair and steady force in Portland’s City Council,” Turner said. “In all my interactions with Commissioner Fish, even when we didn’t agree, he was honorable and a man of his word. What a great loss to our city. He will be greatly missed.” Fish was first elected to the Portland City Council and took of- fice in 2008. He was last re-elect- ed in 2018 and his current term was to expire at the end of 2022. Fish’s office oversaw the Bureau of Environmental Services and Portland Parks & Recreation. Fish has also previously been the commissioner in charge of the Portland Fire Bureau and Wa- ter Bureau, and helped create the Portland Housing Bureau in 2009. A special election will be scheduled to fill the two years re- maining on his term which could be as early as the May Primary or as late as the General Election in November, officials said.
