Police have identified the victim of a fatal shooting Friday that took place at a food production business in Wilsonville as Carl Hellinger.

Authorities arrested Woodburn resident Camilo Santiago-Santiago, 25, Friday morning after he allegedly opened fire with a handgun at a Heritage Specialty Foods facility, killing Hellinger. Hellinger died at the scene, police said. No one else was injured in the shooting.

The victim, a 36-year-old Portland resident, was a manager at Heritage Specialty Foods’ Wilsonville facility. Santiago-Santiago had recently been fired from the business, according to the release.

Heritage Specialty Foods is a small, family-owned Oregon business, company representative Chris Edmonds said.

“The victim was a longtime employee of the company, a dear friend and trusted colleague,” Edmonds said.

Santiago-Santiago will be booked into Clackamas County Jail on charges of murder and felon in possession of a weapon, according to the news release.

At about 8:20 a.m., Santiago-Santiago walked into the company’s Wilsonville facility on Boberg Road and fired multiple rounds, according to the news release. Police say he then fled south toward Woodburn in a red sedan and was spotted by a Marion County Sheriff’s deputy.

Officers from multiple agencies chased the suspect in his vehicle to a dead-end street near Woodland Avenue and Senecal Creek Drive in Woodburn, where Santiago-Santiago allegedly barricaded himself in his car. SWAT and tactical teams engaged with Santiago-Santiago in a standoff that lasted for about 40 minutes, according to the news release. During the standoff, he yelled at officers to shoot him.

At about 9:30 a.m., Santiago-Santiago got out of the sedan with his hands in the air and was arrested, according to the news release. Officers found a pistol in his waistband and two other firearms in his car.

About 20 employees work at the Wilsonville food-processing facility where Santiago-Santiago allegedly opened fire. Most were on the site at the time, Edmonds said. The facility makes specialty soups and processed meats and works closely with several grocery stores and restaurants in the Portland metro area, he said.

Because Heritage Specialty Foods is such a small company, its owners and employees are closely connected, Edmonds said.

“It’s a multigenerational family company that as kind of a result, the workforce is essentially an extension of that family,” Edmonds said. “The victim was known very broadly throughout the company.”

Grief counselors and chaplains worked with employees at two of its facilities for much of the day Friday, including the Wilsonville site and its Portland site on Sandy Boulevard, Edmonds said.

Hellinger, who was a longtime employee of Heritage Specialty Foods, was a family friend of the owners.

“The owners of the company themselves are also grieving this process,” Edmonds said. “They’re also victims of this tragedy.”

The company released two statements Friday, thanking the various agencies that responded to the shooting and expressing grief over Hellinger’s killing.

“The news of this senseless violence comes as a shock to all of us. We ask for the community’s prayers and support for survivors and all of our team members during this time,” the statement reads.

Court records show that this is not Santiago-Santiago’s first weapons-related offense. In July 2018, he pleaded guilty to a felony charge of unlawful use of a weapon with a firearm.
