Gresham, Ore.— Gresham Police is asking for the public’s assistance in the investigation of a shooting that occurred in the 600 block of NE 178 Ave. Officers responded to a call that a person had been shot at approximately 6:15 p.m., on Saturday. When officers arrived, they located the gunshot victim and learned he had been shot during a carjack robbery.

Officers checked the area but did not locate the suspect.
