An 18-year-old was gunned down at a Northeast Portland gas station Wednesday afternoon in what

may be a gang-related attack.

The shooting occurred around 2 p.m. at a Valero gas station at Northeast 60th Avenue and Killingsworth Street.

The teen was standing near the gas pump when he was shot, police said.

"I don't know why this happened," said the teen's uncle, Leon Wilkerson, who was at the scene. "He was a good kid, he didn't deserve what happened."

Police haven't released the teenager's name.

Investigators have limited information about the suspect, but are talking with witnesses.

"A daylight shooting like this is pretty bold," said police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson, noting that it occurred at a very busy intersection.
