In the winter of 2021, a 31-year-old male named Samuel Chase Feltis was killed in a violent encounter in Portland, Oregon. On the evening of Sunday, January 17th, police responded to a call about a suspicious death on Southeast 90th Place, just north of Powell Boulevard. Arriving at the scene around 7:40 p.m., officers discovered Feltis's body.
Initially, the circumstances surrounding his death were unclear, and detectives from the Portland Police Bureau began an investigation.
It was soon determined that Feltis had sustained traumatic injuries. An autopsy conducted by the Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office later confirmed that he had died from gunshot wounds. His death was officially ruled a homicide.
Despite the ongoing investigation by homicide detectives, no suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been announced in connection with the shooting. Authorities have requested that anyone with information regarding the incident come forward to assist in the investigation. His case is one of many homicides that occurred in Portland in 2021.
