The Gresham Police Department, in cooperation with Crime Stoppers of Oregon, is asking for the public's help to solve a homicide.

On Monday May 11, 2015, at 11:21 p.m., a witness called 9-1-1 to report a shooting that occurred at a residence located at 1815 Northwest 7th Place in Gresham. Officers and medical personnel arrived and located 25-year-old Erick Austin Carnegie deceased after an apparent shooting.

A witness reported to police that while Mr. Carnegie was walking up to the front door of the residence, two suspects approached him from behind and forced him inside the residence, where there was a medical marijuana growing operation.
