Police are investigating the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old man near Cesar Chavez School in North Portland.

Responders were dispatched to the 8100 block of Hereford Avenue around 8:30 p.m. Monday, said Sgt. Pete Simpson, a Portland police spokesman. Officers found the man down in front of a house just north of the street's intersection with Willis Boulevard.

He died at the scene. Police don't have any suspect information, and Simpson said no one saw the shooting.

Police hadn't found the man's family, as of about 10:30 p.m., but had talked with some of the man's friends who were in the area.

"We just don't know very much right now," Simpson said.

Portland police investigate a shooting in North Portland on Sept. 19, 2016.

He said the shooting doesn't appear to have anything to do with Cesar Chavez School. Police don't have any concern about kids attending the school Tuesday.

Members of the police bureau's Gang Enforcement Team are helping investigate the shooting, Simpson said. Police don't have a motive in the shooting and don't know whether it's gang-related.

They're working to figure out exactly where the shooting happened, Simpson said, but it didn't look like it occurred on the property where police found the man.

Multiple people called in reports of gunfire, Simpson said. A state medical examiner will perform the man's autopsy Tuesday.

Police ask anyone who has information about the shooting to contact Detective Anthony Merrill at 503-823-4033 or anthony.merrill@portlandoregon.gov, or Detective Vince Cui at 503-823-0449 or vince.cui@portlandoregon.gov.
