The officer involved in the use of deadly force in Northeast Portland on December 6, 2023, is identified as Officer Justin Clary, a 22-year veteran of the Portland Police Bureau assigned to North Precinct.

This officer-involved shooting remains under investigation. Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact Detective William Winters at William.Winters@police.portlandoregon.gov or Detective Jason Koenig at Jason.Koenig@police.portlandoregon.gov and reference case number 23-315194.

As is standard practice, the Portland Police Bureau Homicide Unit is investigating the incident in conjunction with the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office and East County Major Crimes Team, all of whom responded to the scene. After all available facts have been gathered, they will be forwarded to the District Attorney's Office, at which point the District Attorney will make the decision on whether the facts of the case warrant its presentation to a grand jury.

As part of the use of force review process, the Bureau will conduct an internal review of the entire incident, including the initial response, resources requested, tactics used, and post shooting actions. The case will go before the Police Review Board (PRB), which is composed of community members, Bureau members, and representatives from the Independent Police Review Division.
