Man shot, killed in Safeway parking lot in NE Portland

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — One man is dead and another man is accused of murder after a shooting at a Safeway parking lot in Northeast Portland. The Portland Police Bureau said 41-year-old Ashe I. Sarethi was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center and faces charges that include second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon. The fatal shooting took place near Northeast Sandy Boulevard and Northeast 69th Avenue around 4 p.m., drawing a large police presence at the time. Authorities said they found one person dead outside a car. Officers then detained a person who was inside the car, later identified as Sarethi, PPB said. Police said the detained person was not injured but he was transported to the hospital by ambulance for a medical evaluation earlier in the day. 'I hear 'pop, pop, pop.' Then, half a second later, I heard someone screaming, kind of. I said, 'Wow, this is a trip.' And then I got out of the car, looked over, and there was someone on the ground. Everyone's surrounding him, calling police,' said Michelle Etier, who witnessed the shooting. Public streets surrounding the store are open to through traffic following an investigation that closed down a portion of the Safeway parking lot. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Portland police. This is a developing story. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
