PORTLAND, Ore. - Portland homicide detectives have identified the person who took the fatal shot in Saturday's "self defense" shooting as a teenager.
They say the shooter was 18-year-old Daryl Ray Robertson.
They say the deceased, 33-year-old Scott Jason Baker, was Robertson's stepfather.
We're told that the stepfather had been arguing with the teen's mother, and came to her house early Saturday morning with a loaded handgun. Police believe Baker was looking for his estranged wife, who was not home at the time.
"When Baker encountered Robertson and the others inside he threatened to shoot them," the Portland Police Bureau reports. "Robertson fired one shot from a shotgun, striking Baker. Witnesses to the shooting corroborated Robertson's story. Baker and his wife had been living at separate residences for some time prior to the shooting."
Portland Police homicide detectives are now forwarding this case to the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office for review.
Anyone with additional information regarding this incident is asked to call Portland Police homicide detectives at (503) 823-0400.
