On Monday, September 24, 2018, at 12:06 p.m., Central Precinct officers responded to the Sally McCracken Apartments, located at 532 Northwest Everett Street, after Multnomah County Parole and Probation Officers located a deceased male in an apartment.

Officers arrived at the scene and confirmed the subject was deceased. The deceased is believed to be an adult male. Officers noted that circumstances in the apartment were suspicious-in-nature, so members of the Portland Police Bureau Detective Division's Homicide Detail have responded to the scene along with criminalists from the Forensic Evidence Division and the Medical Examiner.

The Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death as well as confirm the identity of the deceased.

Multnomah County Parole and Probation Officers had originally responded to the location to check on a client that had not made an appointment as a condition of his parole or probation. When the parole and probation officers entered the apartment they located a deceased person and at that time requested the Portland Police Bureau respond to assume the investigation.

Any interested media should stage at Northwest Everett Street and Northwest 6th Avenue. The Public Information Officer is responding to the scene.

Anyone with information about this death should contact Detective Todd Gradwahl at 503-823-0991, Todd.Gradwahl@portlandoregon.gov or Detective Brad Clifton at 503-823-0696, Brad.Clifton@portlandoregon.gov
