Fatal shooting spurs protest at Portland cop s Tigard home May 16 2021
Protesters gathered near Tigard High School and marched to a nearby house where they believe Portland Police Bureau officer Zach DeLong lives.
Squad cars nearly outnumbered demonstrators during a rally outside what activists say is the Tigard home of a Portland cop who fatally shot a homeless man last month.
Portland Police Bureau Officer Zachary DeLong remains on paid administrative leave after he shot and killed Robert Delgado in Lents Park on April 16. A month later, on Sunday, May 16, a crowd of less than a dozen chanted a murderer lives here to passing traffic on Southwest Durham Road across the street from Tigard High School.

PORTLAND â Two police officers raised their weapons while sheltering behind a tree in a Portland park. They yelled at a homeless man to put up his hands. Moments later, two shots rang out. The man collapsed onto the grassy field.
A replica gun with an orange tip was found at the scene on April 16. But some key details are unclear, including whether the fake weapon was in Robert Delgadoâs possession during the deadly encounter, or if he pointed it at officers.
Police have been tight-lipped, citing an ongoing investigation, and the only video from the scene â 11 minutes of footage taken by bystanders, not officers â shows just a portion of what happened.
