On January 11, 2022, at 2:40pm, an officer self-dispatched to conduct a welfare check on a female resident living in the 2100 Block of Southeast 103rd Drive. Officers arrived and heard what they believed to be a gunshot from the other side of the property. Officers entered the home and found a deceased female.

On Monday, January 3, 2022, at 12:49pm, Central Precinct Officers were dispatched to the area of Northwest 15th Avenue and Northwest Thurman Street after someone called 911 to report hearing two shots they believe came from a distinctive vehicle, which left the scene at a high rate of speed. A Central Precinct Sergeant located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop on it at Northwest 3rd Avenue and Northwest Davis Street. A handgun, and other evidence, was clearly visible inside the vehicle, and its occupant, Crystal Lee Bartlett, was taken into custody.
The Enhanced Community Safety Team (ECST) was conducting an investigation on a separate incident and was unavailable, so the Central Precinct Neighborhood Response Team (NRT) provided investigative support. They were able to locate video which corroborated the 911 caller’s information. Central NRT recovered the pictured .380 caliber pistol, 17 rounds of ammunition, and a spent shell casing from Bartlett’s vehicle.
No bullet strikes were located as a result of this shooting, and nobody was injured, however, since the shooting occurred in front of Childpeace Montessori School, this caused extra concern for responding officers. Central NRT members contacted the school and provided appropriate information for concerned parents and staff.
Crystal Bartlett was transported to a local hospital due to a pre-existing medical condition. She has been charged with:
o Felon in Possession of a Firearm
o Unauthorized Use of a Weapon (two counts)
o Reckless Endangering (two counts)
o Unlawful Discharge of a Firearm (City Code – two counts)
o Unlawful Possession of a Loaded Firearm (City Code)

Over the last month, Central Precinct’s Neighborhood Response Team (NRT) has been investigating a series of burglaries which occurred in Southeast Portland. Burglars broke into one specific house several times, stealing a vehicle and numerous collectible heirlooms. Their exhaustive investigation uncovered vital evidence which led the Neighborhood Response Team to apply for a warrant to search the residence located at 1324 Southeast 14th Avenue.
On December 21, 2021, with the assistance of the Special Emergency Reaction Team (SERT), Central Precinct NRT served the search warrant and several people were taken into custody. A search of the residence resulted in the recovery of property stolen from the home originally burglarized, as well as a firearm, an electric motorcycle, a Segway, suspected stolen industrial equipment, a stolen firefighter turnout coat, a key-cutter and several dozen stolen, forged and fraudulent checks and financial documents. In all, over 70 items of evidence were sized. Property seized by the Neighborhood Response Team suggests these individuals were involved in numerous criminal events within inner-Southeast Portland, at both commercial and residential locations.
Jay Lamb, 35, of Portland, was charged with Theft in the First Degree, Theft by Receiving, and Burglary in the Second Degree, and lodged at the Multnomah County Detention Center. Additional charges are expected as this investigation continues.
Karen Brown, 27, was lodged at the Multnomah County Detention Center on two existing felony warrants, with additional charges expected as this investigation continues.
Jeffrey Garder, 45, and Koy Hill, 52, both of Portland, were cited for outstanding warrants.

David Pond, 62, left his care facility, located at 7759 Southeast 72nd Avenue, at 1:00pm yesterday on a pass and was expected back in one hour. He has not returned. The care facility believes Mr. Pond may be in danger because he was unfamiliar with TriMet’s altered holiday schedule, and because of current weather conditions.
David Pond has not been diagnosed with memory issues. However, he is known pose in various standing positions for extended periods of time. Mr. Pond is 5’7” tall, but walks with an extreme hunch, so his visible height appears to be closer to 5’. He weighs approximately 150lbs and was last seen wearing a long navy-blue pea coat and blue jeans. David Pond has mostly balding white hair and a full beard.
If any community members locate David Pond, they are asked to facilitate his return to the care facility (7759 Southeast 72nd Avenue) or to contact Detective Kristina Coffey at (503)823-1081 kristina.coffey@portlandoregon.gov.

This afternoon, an alert community member called 911 after seeing a man she recognized as the suspect of the foiled kidnapping. After a brief search, officers found the suspect in the area of Northwest 10th Avenue and Northwest Davis Street. Erick Alexander, 30, was arrested and charged with Kidnapping in the Second Degree. Detectives have been able to connect Alexander to four other instances, which occurred the day before and the day after the kidnapping, in which members of the community were troubled enough by his behavior that they called 911.
Erick Alexander has been booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on the Kidnapping II charge, and an unrelated warrant.

Detectives are continuing the investigation of the attempted kidnapping incident in the Pearl District, obtaining clearer images and more detailed description in an effort to help identify the suspect and alert the community. Additionally, another potential attempted kidnapping incident was reported in the Powellhurst-Gilbert Neighborhood.
The attached images of the suspect were taken from a surveillance system in the Pearl District Neighborhood on Monday, December 13th, the day before the kidnapping attempt. Some of his clothing items are different, although his coat, pants, and shoes appear to be the same. In addition to the previous description released, the suspect appears to have a shaved head or possibly close-cropped haircut, a small ponytail, and sideburns and facial hair along his jawline. He was seen with a black bicycle (photo) with a black and white seat and cargo rack. If anyone has information about this suspect, any suspected crimes that may involve him, or any other surveillance footage, please contact Detective Michael Schmerber at Michael.Schmerber@portlandoregon.gov or 503-823-0991.
On Wednesday, December 15, 2021, East Precinct officers responded to a report of a possible kidnapping attempt at about 5:45p.m. at Southeast Powell Boulevard and Southeast 125th Avenue. The victim, a 10-year-old boy, was unhurt. His mother reported that she was walking with her kids when a suspect approached and grabbed the boy by the arm. The mother yelled at the suspect and he walked away. She provided a description to the officer and it was consistent with the description of the Pearl District suspect. However, there is not enough information to definitively say that it is the same suspect. The case remains under investigation.
Additional information will be released as appropriate.

A second concerning incident has come to light that is believed to be the same suspect as the Pearl District attempted kidnapping case.
After PPB released information yesterday, we were contacted by a mother who said she also had a confrontation with a suspect that matches the description of the suspect. She reported that on Tuesday, December 14, 2021 at about 2:30p.m., roughly 30-45 minutes before the previously released incident, she was pushing her baby in a stroller on Northwest Northrup Street between Northwest 9th Avenue and Northwest 10th Avenue. She said a suspect matching the same description approached her and followed her, even when she crossed the street to get away from him. She confronted him and he eventually walked away. She took the attached photographs of the suspect.
The report increases our concern that this suspect may have been in the neighborhood for a while targeting other victims. If anyone has access to surveillance camera recordings in the surrounding neighborhood, we ask that they review footage from about 2:00p.m to 3:20p.m. to see if better images of the suspect might have been captured. Anyone with video or any other information about this case, please contact Detective Michael Schmerber at Michael.Schmerber@portlandoregon.gov or 503-823-0991.
