News Release

Man Stabbed, Large Search Conducted For Suspect (Photo) - 02/03/26

A man was stabbed in Tigard Tuesday morning, leading to a large search for the suspect.

 

At 7:14 AM, a person called 911 to report the stabbing, which investigators believe happened in an area behind a row of businesses on SW Cascade Ave south of SW Scholls Ferry Road, near railroad tracks. The victim, a 33-year-old man, was taken to the hospital by ambulance with injuries that are believed to be serious.

 

Several officers responded to the scene, including a K-9 handler and drone operators. The area next to the railroad tracks also has several encampments and a creek running through it. Officer searched in the marshy, wooded area for hours searching for the suspect or any evidence that may be connected to the investigation.


The attached photos show how thermal imaging from a drone helped direct efforts in the search, as officers searched through trees, bushes, camps, debris and areas along the creek. 

 

A man in the area was briefly detained in connection with the investigation and was released. Detectives are working to gather more information related to the identity of the suspect in this case. 

 

Anyone with information that may be helpful in this case is asked to call the tips line at 503-718-COPS or send an email to tips@tigard-or.gov.

 

We’d like to thank our partner agencies for their assistance in responding to this call, including a K-9 handler from Hillsboro Police, an officer from King City Police and deputies with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
