Police said in statements that both the death and protest violence occurred in downtown Portland. However, they did not immediately link the shooting death to the protests. "(Police) responded and located a victim with a gunshot wound to the chest. Medical responded and determined that the victim was deceased," a Portland police spokesman said in an emailed statement.
