Tigard Police release name of victim in Friday shooting

Police say 'person of interest' is dangerous, urge people to call 911.

Police have released the name of the victim shot to death outside a home in Tigard on Friday night.

Jerry Duy Nguyen, 37, of Beaverton, was at the home of his ex-wife in the 10700 block of Southwest Canterbury Lane to pick up his child when he was allegedly shot by a friend of his ex-wife, according to Jim Wolf, a spokesman with the Tigard Police Department.

Police are looking for Orlando Lee Pouncey, 29, who Wolf called a "possible suspect" who was in the area at the time of the shooting. Wolf said Pouncey ran from the scene after the shots were fired.

Wolf said that Pouncey should be considered dangerous and asked that the public call 911 rather than approach him.
