A 16-year-old Southeast Portland boy is facing attempted murder and other charges in connection with an August shooting in Northeast Portland, police say.

Members of the Portland Police Bureau's Gang Enforcement Team arrested Christopher Washington on Friday at his home in the 2900 block of Southeast 92nd Avenue, the agency reported.

The investigation began Aug. 9 just after 12:45 a.m., when officers responded to a shots fired report outside the Shady Lady Tavern, 4759 N.E. Cully Blvd. Nobody was hit.

Investigators learned that there had been a disturbance inside the tavern before shots were fired outside. In the weeks that followed, detectives developed information leading to Friday's arrest.

Washington was booked into the Donald E. Long Juvenile Detention Home on charges of attempted murder, attempted first-degree assault, second-degree attempted assault, felon in possession of a firearm, and unlawful use of a weapon.
