UPDATE: The victim has been been identified.

Portland police are investigating a suspected homicide at the Oregon Culinary Institute after a class entering the facility Saturday discovered a man who had apparently been shot.

Sgt. Pete Simpson, an agency spokesman, said the class found the man, who is in his 60s, in a large kitchen area. First responders tried to resuscitate the man but could not.

Investigators in a release said there are no suspects so far and no other victims.

Simpson said the victim was affiliated with the school, either as an instructor or other personnel. The deceased man would have had after hours access to the facility and it is not known when he would have entered.

Police have blocked off Southwest 17th Avenue to Madison Street. The area is part of the final stretch of Saturday's Rose Festival Starlight Parade.

Simpson said anyone with information is asked to call the Portland police non-emergency line, 503-823-3333.
