UPDATE 10:04 p.m. with suspect’s arrest.

A standout local athlete died Friday when police say a woman shot three people at a Northeast Portland home, killing one.

The victim, Deante Strickland, 22, was a two-sport athlete at Portland State University and a former standout at Central Catholic High School, where, as at PSU, he played basketball and football. PSU confirmed his death Friday evening.

A Portland homicide detective arrested Tamena Strickland, 30, on suspicion of murder and attempted murder at 6:52 p.m. at Central Precinct, suggesting she may have surrendered to police. She was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center at 9:33 pm. Friday, according to jail records.

The deadly shooting was reported a little after 2 p.m. in the 6200 block of Northeast 42nd Avenue, near Holman Street.

Damian Strickland, who said he was an uncle to the victim, told The Oregonian/OregonLive that his niece, Tamena Strickland, shot and killed her brother, Deante Strickland. He said Deante’s aunt and grandmother, both named Shirley, were also shot, one in the knee and in the back, and are at the hospital. Both women’s injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening, police said.

Damian Strickland also said a 4-year-old child was present but was uninjured.

Damian Strickland said he was told Deante’s last words were, “My sister shot me” and “I don’t want to die.”

“Everyone is shocked,” Damian Strickland said. “They are siblings.”

His uncle said Deante left the house and asked contractors working across the street for help.

“The contractors were giving him CPR as he was saying, ‘My sister shot me . . . I don’t want to die,’” Damian Strickland said. “We’re confused as to the motive,” he said. “There wasn’t any ongoing disagreement or anything weird.”

Russell Steen, a construction worker who helped Strickland after he was shot, said he came running toward the construction site asking for help. The workers quickly noticed he was bleeding, and Steen said they sat him down, tried to calm him, and applied pressure to his wound. Steen said Strickland had a wound from his upper chest through his lower back. He estimated they helped Strickland for about 15 minutes until paramedics arrived.

Deante Strickland played basketball at Portland State University after starring at Casper College in Wyoming. Strickland earned All-State honors at Central Catholic High School, where he played basketball and football. He was a member of Central Catholic’s state-champion football teams his junior and senior years, and was a key reserve on Portland State’s men’s basketball team the past two seasons, averaging 7.4 points in 65 games. He was planning to play running back for Portland State’s football team this fall. He was studying social science.

“My heart is broken," said Valerie Cleary, Portland State’s athletic director. “Strick was one of the best. He put so much dedication into all he did on and off the court. He truly represented our Viking values and his hometown of Portland. I will never forget his smile.”

“We are all deeply saddened and grieving about this tragic news,” Viking basketball coach Barret Peery, who recruited Deante back to his hometown in 2017, said in a statement from the school. “We are better for having had Deante in our lives. His smile, passion and energy for life was second to none. He lit up a room and made the people around him better in every way. He loved his family, his friends and everyone around him. He had great pride in being a kid from Portland and it showed in how he competed each day. We will never forget him and he will always be with us. I love Deante and am a better man for having the opportunity to coach him. This entire community will miss him."

The Strickland family is well known in local sports. Another of Deante Strickland’s uncles, Pat Strickland, is a boys basketball coach at Portland’s Jefferson High.
