Correction appended

The estranged boyfriend of a 22-year-old woman shot multiple times Saturday in Southeast Portland was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, police say.

The man's body was discovered at 7:45 a.m. behind a fence near Southeast 134th Drive and Holgate Boulevard, police said, a little more than an hour after the woman was shot outside a nearby home in the Gilbert-Powellhurst neighborhood.

A witness identified the woman's 24-year-old estranged boyfriend as the shooter, said Sgt. Pete Simpson, a Portland police spokesman.

Officers recovered a handgun near the man's body, Simpson said. Neither person was identified.

The woman was taken to a Portland hospital with "traumatic injuries." An update on her condition was unavailable Saturday afternoon.
