Updated at 2:45 p.m. Sunday: The deceased have been identified as Dat Pham, 33, and Sut-Leng Chang, 41.

Portland police are searching for the man who shot and killed two people and critically injured a third in Southeast Portland Friday night.

A baby inside the home was not injured by the gunfire, said Sgt. Pete Simpson, a spokesman for the Portland Police Bureau.

The shooting occurred around 10:02 p.m. in the 8500 block of Southeast Division Street.

More than 12 hours later, many details remain unclear as the investigation into the killings continues.

Simpson said police consider the shooting to be an act of homicidal violence, but do not know why it occurred. He would say only that the suspect was a man.

A man and woman were killed, and another man was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, Simpson said.

He said police likely will not release the victims' names until Sunday, after notifying their families. The Oregon State Medical Examiner will conduct autopsies that day, as well.

Simpson said he could not confirm the exact address of where the shooting occurred. Portland property records show the only residential property in the 8500 block of Division is a four-plex building.

Police asked anyone with information about the shooting to call Detective Rico Beniga at 503-823-0457 or Detective Chris Traynor at 503-823-0449.
