The person deceased in the Madison South Neighborhood death investigation case is identified as Omar Greely, 41. The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office conducted an autopsy and determined Greely died from a gunshot wound and ruled his death a homicide.
The person who shot and killed Greely called 911 and remained at the scene. That person is not being identified at this time.
Evidence at the scene suggests Greely was attempting to force his way into an apartment armed with a handgun and fired a shot before being shot and killed by a resident of the apartment. The apartment resident is cooperating with the investigation.
Greeley’s family provided the attached photograph for public release. They are asking for privacy at this time.
