Jeremie Singer was arrested and booked into the Clark County Jail for Attempted Murder I- Domestic Violence and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm II
On Tuesday (Oct. 8) at about 8:15 p.m., Clark County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a disturbance with a weapon in the area of NE Beaver Brook Road and NE Eagle View Road in Yacolt. It was reported to 9-1-1 that a male had been shot in the head.
A family member of the injured male reported to 9-1-1 that the male had been shot, unprovoked, by another resident of the house they all shared. The injured male was transported by car away from the residence by the family member to NE Fargher Lake Highway.
Responding patrol units contacted them on NE Fargher Lake Highway and found a male with serious injuries. The male appeared to have been shot with a shotgun. The male was alert and able to communicate with deputies on the scene. The male was transported to a local trauma hospital by ambulance with life-threatening injuries. The victim remains in serious but stable condition at the hospital.
Deputies, using armored vehicles and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), made their way to the residence. Deputies called out the residents in the home and detained the suspected shooter, identified as 50-year-old Jeremie Singer, of Yacolt, and several other residents.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit (MCU) responded to the scene. Detectives learned that the victim and his family had been living at the residence and that they had a contentious relationship with their landlord and housemate, Jeremie Singer.
Deputies had responded to the residence and authored an informational report about a landlord/tenant dispute involving the two families just a few days prior.
Detectives learned that both Singer and the victim had recently made claims of previous threats against one another.
In this incident, it was determined that the victim had left the residence for the last several days. On Tuesday, the victim returned to the residence to gather some belongings, where it is alleged that Singer shot him in the face and chest with a 12-gauge shotgun through the front window of the home.
Singer was arrested and booked into the Clark County Jail for Attempted Murder I- Domestic Violence (due to the household relationship as adult persons residing together) and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm II.
This is an active and ongoing investigation.
