Portland Prosecutor Says Clothes, Ammo at Dead Shooting Suspect’s House Matched Crime Scene

Authorities killed the suspect as they moved to arrest him on murder charges.

The Multnomah County District Attorney said in a statement Friday that authorities recovered ammunitions and clothes in the home of the accused Portland gunman that match shell casings and video of the fatal shooting last weekend that left a 39-year-old man dead. Authorities killed Michael Reinoehl, 48, as they moved to arrest him on charges of second-degree murder Thursday night near Olympia, Washington, and police said he had drawn a handgun as they approached. The original shooting occurred during a demonstration that saw leftist activists clash with right-wingers, and the victim, Aaron Danielson, was a supporter of the Patriot Prayer group, which has staged confrontational demonstrations in support of law enforcement and President Donald Trump in the city. Reinoehl described himself as an anti-fascist activist and said he “felt like he had no other choice” in an interview published the day of his death.
