Shooting Death of Anthony Garland Under Investigation

Two recent shooting incidents in Portland have resulted in one death and an arrest. In East Portland, a man was shot and killed at a MAX platform on Thursday night, with police detaining one person for investigation, though details remain scarce. Separately, 18-year-old Kamari N. Gates was arrested for the fatal shooting of a woman in the Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhood earlier this week; he faces multiple charges, including second-degree murder. Additionally, police have identified Anthony J. Garland, 44, as the victim of a homicide in the Lloyd District, which marks Portland's 53rd homicide this year. Investigations into both incidents are ongoing, with authorities urging anyone with information to come forward. The increase in gun violence in the city raises concerns about public safety and community well-being.
