Portland police on Saturday identified the officer who shot and killed a man in Lents Park on Friday as Zachary DeLong, who has worked for the Portland Police Bureau for eight years.
Two sources with direct knowledge of the investigation said DeLong shot Robert Douglas Delgado, 46, after Delgado drew what appeared to be a firearm. The sources said investigators recovered an orange-tipped replica firearm at the scene in Southeast Portland. DeLong was put on administrative leave, which is standard practice after police shootings.
