Last Saturday, February 5, 2022 at 2:00 a.m., North Precinct officers were dispatched to an apartment in the Argay Terrace neighborhood, near the 4400 block of Northeast 131st Place. Because most of the precinct was busy with other calls, including another injury shooting, East Precinct officers responded to assist.Â
When officers arrived, they located an adult male with gunshot wounds. Officers applied a tourniquet to try to control bleeding from his leg. Portland Fire and Rescue and AMR paramedics arrived and continued lifesaving measures. The victim was transported to the hospital by ambulance. He later died at the hospital.
Officers closed off the area around the apartment building to begin an investigation. No public streets were affected by the closure. Portland Police Homicide Unit detectives responded to the scene.
The victim in the fatal shooting morning was identified as Corey M. Eady, 44. His family has been notified of his death and provided the attached photograph for public release.
The Oregon State Medical Examiner conducted an autopsy and determined the cause of death to be gunshot wound and the manner was homicide.
No arrests have been made and the investigation is continuing. If anyone has information about this case, please contact Detective Travis Law: Travis.Law@portlandoregon.gov (503) 823-0395, or Detective Ryan Foote: Ryan.Foote@portlandoregon.gov (503) 823-0781. The case number is 22-33479.Â
