Details surrounding the deputy-involved fatal shooting in Happy Valley are slowly coming out, as officials on June 9 released the name of both the suspect and the deputy.
A little after 2 a.m. on June 7, Jeremiah Wright was driving a stolen vehicle, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office said. Wright, who had recently been released from prison with a record in both Oregon and Nevada, had a 9mm Glock pistol.
Deputy Casey Newton tried to stop him. The chase ended near Southeast 122nd Avenue and Southeast Eagle Glen Drive, where Wright got out of the car and tried to run.
