Gresham, Ore.— Gresham Police patrol officers, along with assisting Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office Deputies, responded to an injury shooting and made an arrest in the case. Officers and assisting deputies responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a shooting had occurred in the 3100 block of NE Cleveland Ave., on Thursday, shortly before 6:30 p.m. 

An uninvolved motorist, who was waiting at a red light at Stark and Cleveland at the time of the shooting, was struck by gunfire. The motorist had 3 young children in the car at the time he was shot. Once he fled the intersection, the gunshot victim had an adult passenger transport him to a nearby hospital. He was ultimately transferred to an area trauma hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

After securing the scene and detaining the shooter, officers interviewed witnesses and collected evidence to determine what had occurred. Officers learned that the suspect, Kelvin Pea, 31, of Gresham, shot a stolen firearm at a vehicle occupied by two people with whom he had an ongoing dispute. The intended victims flagged down officers after fleeing the scene for their safety. Officers observed that they were unharmed but their vehicle had been struck by gunfire.

Before 11:00 p.m., Pea was lodged at Multnomah County Detention Center on suspicion of the following crimes:

Attempted Murder (2 Counts)
Assault II
Felon in Possession of Firearm
Recklessly Endangering Another Person (4 Counts)
