MULTNOMAH COUNTY – Detectives with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office have arrested a 19-year-old man in connection with a deadly Wood Village shooting.

 

Kenneth William Nevills Jr. is being held at the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges that include Murder in the Second Degree and Unlawful Use of a Weapon.

 

Nevills Jr. is expected to appear in Multnomah County Circuit Court for his first appearance at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, in Courtroom #3 of the Justice Center.

 

This investigation began around 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, when emergency dispatchers received multiple 911 calls reporting that a person had been shot in the 22800 block of Northeast Park Lane.

 

The victim, found outside the Fred Meyer grocery store, died on scene despite life-saving measures being performed.

 

Law enforcement took Nevills Jr. into custody shortly after the shooting near the intersection of Northeast Glisan Street and Northeast 202nd Avenue.

 

The circumstances leading up to the shooting remain under investigation.  

 

No additional details are available for release at this time.

Charges are only allegations, and every arrested person is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

 

ORS 133.870 generally prohibits the release of jail booking photos to the public unless it is determined that there is a law enforcement purpose.

 

The information contained in this news release is based on a preliminary review of the details available to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. As the investigation progresses, information may change. 

 

The East County Major Crimes Team includes detectives from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, Port of Portland Police Department, Gresham Police Department and Oregon State Police.
