The investigation into the shooting at city-owned property is ongoing, but Portland Police Bureau staff estimate the suspect, Chase Grijalva, caused more than $500,000 in damage to more than a dozen traffic control cameras across the city.

Additionally, PPB would like to rectify the details of Grijalva's arrest. After driving recklessly through Southeast Portland, sometimes into oncoming traffic, Grijalva stopped his vehicle in a parking lot in the area of ​​Southeast 148th Avenue and Southeast Division Street. Officers report that Grijalva exited the vehicle in a very agitated and noncompliant state and continued to reach for his belt. These were concerning actions given that several shootings had just occurred. The police used physical force to arrest Grijalva. Grijalva and a PPB officer were injured.
