A man involved in an alleged armed carjacking met his end at the hands of Clark County Sheriff's deputies over the weekend. Confirming details to KGW, the CCSO reported responding to a call in Hazel Dell about a van stolen at gunpoint by a male and female duo. This incident occurred just shortly before 10:38 a.m. Saturday, leading to a tragic end for one suspect and the arrest of another.

Dispatched after a van owner reported the carjacking from the vicinity of 9200 NE 15th, deputies, who reportedly ended a man's life at the American Legion hall in Salmon Creek, were hot on the trail of the suspects. According to KOIN, a "suspicious circumstance" arose near the Goodwill store in Salmon Creek, where bystanders described a botched carjacking attempt by a couple matching earlier descriptions.

The chase culminated at the American Legion where the male suspect, weapon allegedly in hand, was fatally shot by the deputies. Details about the shooting remain scant, however, the woman accompanying the deceased was apprehended. An investigation is underway, entangling the quiet community in a police narrative that is all too familiar across America.

In the aftermath, the local area bore witness to a significant police presence, grappling with the violence that marred an otherwise routine weekend. "Witnesses told officials a man and woman tried to carjack a car with someone inside," detailed the report from KOIN. The names of the deceased suspect and the arrested female have not been released, leaving a community anxious for answers and resolution to a sudden spasm of violence that shook their sense of safety.
