Detectives are looking for a dark red Lexus ES 350 sedan that has a shattered rear window, rear end damage, and broken tail light
On Sunday (Oct. 26) at 7:49 a.m., the Clark County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) responded to reports of shots heard in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 9400 block of NE 19th Avenue in Vancouver. Multiple callers reported hearing a series of gunshots in the parking lot of the complex.
On arrival, CCSO patrol deputies located an adult male victim in the front seat of a vehicle with a gunshot wound. The victim did not survive.
Witnesses reported that two black males, wearing masks, were seen going back and forth between the victim’s vehicle and a red Lexus after hearing the shots. The two male suspects then left the parking lot in the Lexus before making it to Interstate 5 and heading south into Portland. The vehicle was reportedly last seen taking Exit 307 in Portland.
The CCSO Major Crimes Unit is investigating this homicide.
