Portland police arrested a man early Saturday after an hours-long block search through the Richmond neighborhood, ending a tense overnight manhunt linked to the 2025 killing of a 14-year-old boy. Neighbors were told to shelter in place while officers swept yards, flew drones, and brought in K-9 units before finally finding the suspect in a trailer parked in a driveway shortly after 6:30 a.m.
In a press release, the Portland Police Bureau said patrol officers led the search in Richmond and that the suspect is now in custody on a first-degree murder charge along with several others. Detectives remained on scene through the morning as follow-up work continued.
How the Search Played Out
According to local reporting, officers forced their way into a home near Southeast 38th Avenue and Southeast Ivon Street after believing someone inside was in danger. A suspect then jumped from a second-story window and bolted into the neighborhood, triggering an intensive search, as reported by KPTV.
Police set up a perimeter from Southeast Cesar E. Chavez Boulevard to Southeast 37th Avenue and methodically worked through the area with drones and K-9 teams. The search wrapped shortly after 6:30 a.m., when officers found the suspect hiding in a trailer in a driveway, according to KPTV. An assault victim was found at the residence and taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the station reported.
Victim and Past Investigation
Police say the arrest is tied to a Nov. 16, 2025, shooting in the Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhood that killed 14-year-old Marik Roscoe. The Portland Police Bureau previously identified Roscoe and said in a Nov. 16 statement that the Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide by gunshot.
earlier killing and the ongoing investigation were covered in local reporting at the time, and the bureau's Nov. 16 release provided additional background on the case. Detectives had been looking for the suspect since that incident, according to prior police statements.
Charges and Next Steps
Local reports identified the suspect as Aquize Logan and say he was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on active warrants that include first-degree murder, two counts of first-degree attempted murder, first-degree burglary, assault, and weapons charges.
KPTV also reported that detectives are asking anyone with information about the case to email [email protected] and reference case number 25-314623 as the investigation continues.
