https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2019/10/suv-connected-to-gunfire-crashes-into-portland-building-police-say.htmlActivist dies after being hit by SUV near Cider Riot, Portland left-wing hangoutPolice identified Sean D. Kealiher, a 23-year-old Portland resident, as the man who was hit after leaving Cider Riot, a Couch Street gathering place for antifascists, anarchists and other leftists. Shots were fired at the car after it hit Kealiher, and the vehicle crashed into a building.
Kealiher, who identified as an anarchist, was driven to a hospital. Doctors tried to save his life, according to police, but he died of blunt-force trauma.
Friends who brought Kealiher to the hospital were initially detained by police, but they were later released from police custody, The Oregonian/OregonLive has learned.
Police said no arrests have been made and that homicide detectives are investigating the case.
Per this Hot Air blogpost,
https://hotair.com/archives/john-s-2/2019/10/14/portland-antifa-member-killed-hit-run-weekend-police-investigating-homicide/ , which has more info:
* Police are investigating this as a homicide;
* Some Progs have leaped to the conclusion that it was a politically motivated murder/assassination;
* Rose City Antifa have denied that it was politically motivated;
* Supposedly the dead guy's family has asked any Antifoids with knowledge of the incident - e.g. who and why - not to talk to the press or the police.
IMO, that local Antifa has said this wasn't a political act means they are CERTAIN it is not and are SURE police will figure that out, with proof. Were there doubt they would make the dead guy a Horst-Wessel-style martyr. That his family have asked Antifoids not to talk to the media or police suggests to me that this might have been something internecine.
Those are my for-what-little-it's-worth speculations at present.
