In the North Tabor neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, the evening of September 29, 2021, was shattered by violence. Craig Wisdom, a 40-year-old Caucasian male, was fatally shot near Northeast 60th Avenue and Everett Street. The Portland Police Bureau responded to reports of the shooting just after 9:30 PM and discovered Wisdom deceased at the scene.
The Oregon State Medical Examiner's office later confirmed that the cause of death was a gunshot wound and ruled it a homicide.
In a somewhat unusual turn of events, a person believed to be involved in the shooting remained at the location and was contacted by officers. Consequently, the police did not actively search for any additional suspects in the immediate aftermath of the incident. Despite this, the investigation into the circumstances surrounding Wisdom's death remained ongoing. Details regarding the identity of the person who stayed at the scene or the nature of their involvement have not been publicly released.
As of the most recent available information, no arrests have been announced in connection with the death of Craig Wisdom, and the case is considered unsolved. The Portland Police Bureau has encouraged anyone with information regarding the shooting to come forward. Wisdom's family, who described him as a "kind and gentle soul," has been notified of his death and has publicly shared their grief over his sudden and tragic loss. They provided a photograph of him to the public in the hopes that it might aid the investigation.
