Police found a man shot to death in North Portland Thursday morning.

Officers arrived at the scene in the 6900 block of North Curtis Avenue at around 2:30 a.m. and discovered the victim in a car, the Portland Police Bureau said. Paramedics soon arrived and concluded that the man was dead.

Police have not made any arrests.

If deemed a homicide, this would be the fourth of 2023 in Portland, with another listed at this point as a “suspicious death.” The city set a record last year with 101 homicides.

North Curtis Avenue is closed between Morgan and Saratoga streets during the initial phase of the investigation, police said.

Police ask anyone who might have information about the shooting to contact Det. Sean Macomber at Sean.Macomber@police.portlandoregon.gov or 503-823-0404, or Det. Joseph Corona at Joseph.Corona@police.portlandoregon.gov or 503-823-0508.
