Two property managers for Community Development Partners, working at the Cascadian Terrace Apartments in Portland, were shot and wounded by a tenant during an eviction “due to behavioral issues” in late December.
Both managers, a 45-year-old man and 64-year-old woman, were treated for serious but not life-threatening injuries and are recovering, police said.
The evicted tenant is being held on attempted murder charges.
“Assault detectives booked 65-year-old Reynaldo Diaz Cabrera, the evicted tenant, into the Multnomah County Jail on two counts of attempted murder,” according to a release from Portland police.
“On Monday December 19, 2016, at 12:36 p.m., North Precinct officers responded to the report of a shooting at the Cascadian Terrace Apartments, located at 5700 North Kerby Avenue. As officers were responding to the scene they learned that two people were shot by a known suspect who fled the scene,” according to the police release.
