Portland's flag will be lowered at several locations around the city Wednesday in honor of two young people killed in Portland last month.

The flag will be lowered in tribute to Zackariah Luda Daugherty, 2, and Fallon Smart, 15, Portland Commissioner Dan Saltzman's office said in a news release.

Taylor Lynn Kraig, 20, was jailed last month on suspicion of killing Zackariah, his girlfriend's 2-year-old son, police said. Kraig pleaded not guilty to murder, murder by abuse, assault and criminal mistreatment charges Aug. 31, court records show.

He's being held without bail in the Multnomah County Detention Center, according to jail records. Zackariah died Aug. 16, police said.

Abdulrahman Sameer Noorah, 21, is accused of hitting and killing Fallon with his car on Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard on Aug. 19. He pleaded not guilty Thursday to first-degree manslaughter and failure to perform duties of a driver to injured persons charges, among others, according to court records.

He was released from jail on bail the next day, jail records show.

The city has lowered its flag to honor children who have died of abuse, neglect or violence 13 times since 2009, according to Saltzman's office.

Saltzman championed the cause in 2009. His office said he will speak about the deaths at a City Council meeting at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. There will also be a moment of silence.
