Detectives determined the deceased had been shot by somebody armed with a handgun, and through the course of the initial investigation, they identified a suspect. Early that same afternoon, investigators located the suspect, later identified as 39-year-old Eddie Brandon Todd Campbell. Investigators requested assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force in apprehending the suspect. Members of the task force tried to get Campbell into custody, but he fled. At one point, Campbell attempted to carjack a female in a vehicle, but he was unsuccessful. Portland Police Officer Jerry Ables sent his K9 partner Kylo off leash to apprehend the suspect. Task force members to include Portland Police Officers Jerry Ables and Kameron Fender, as well as a U.S. Marshal and Clackamas County Sheriff's Deputy, fired and struck Campbell. K9 Kylo was struck, too.
