Gresham, Ore. – A suspect accused of assaulting an elderly tenant who lived nearby was arrested after firing a shot outside his residence.  On Sept 7, 2025, at approximately 9:30 p.m., Gresham Police officers responded to a report of an assault at a residence in 21800 block of SE Oak St. The caller reported a weapon was involved and was still in the residence.

Officers located the victim who had visible injuries. Officers learned the suspect not only had an outstanding felony warrant out of Multnomah County but was also suspected of eluding an officer in a vehicle as well as menacing another victim with a weapon in unrelated incidents. Officers and assisting Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office deputies surrounded the residence to ensure the suspect did not escape. The suspect exited the residence with a flashlight and another object, which was later determined to be a rifle. The subject pointed the object at officers and then ran off, firing a shot as he retreated to the neighborhood.

A UAS/Drone was used to track the suspect’s location and officers used less lethal force options including impact munitions and a Taser before taking him into custody. The suspect, Cameron Styles, 33, of Gresham, will be lodged at the Multnomah County Detention Center on suspicion of Menacing (7 counts, ORS 163.190), Unlawful Use of a Weapon (2 counts, ORS 166.220), Felon in Possession of a Firearm (ORS 166.270), Assault in the Fourth Degree (ORS 163.160), Obstructing Governmental Administration (ORS 162.235), Escape in the Third Degree (ORS 162.145), and an Outstanding Felony Warrant for Attempt to Elude a Police Officer in a Vehicle (ORS 811.540).
