The man who died in Sunday’s officer-involved shooting in Downtown Portland has been identified as Matthew L Holland, 31, of Portland. His family has been notified of his death and they are requesting privacy at this time.
The Medical Examiner determined Holland died from a gunshot wound.
This remains an open, active investigation. If anyone has information about this incident and has not spoken to police, they’re asked to contact Detective William Winters at william.winters@police.portlandoregon.gov 503-823-0466 or Detective Jason Koenig at jason.koenig@police.portlandoregon.gov 503-823-0889 and reference case number 24-10954.
As is standard practice, the Portland Police Bureau Homicide Unit is investigating the incident in conjunction with the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office and East County Major Crimes Team, all of whom responded to the scene. After all available facts have been gathered, they will be forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office, at which point the District Attorney will make the decision on whether the facts of the case warrant its presentation to a grand jury.
As part of the use of force review process, the Bureau will conduct an internal review of the entire incident, including the initial response, resources requested, tactics used, and post shooting actions. The case will go before the Police Review Board (PRB), which is composed of community members, Bureau members, and representatives from the Independent Police Review Division.
