A man was shot and killed in downtown Portland, Oregon near the Justice Center in what appears to have been a self defense shooting earlier tonight. Jacob Jepson has been named as the suspect by several unconfirmed online sources including one that appears to match an image of the shooter filmed earlier tonight with pictures of Jepson that show a matching tattoo (https://twitter.com/EvanAKilgore/status/1299974184886513665). Assfault Pirates captured part of the incident on their live stream and was originally reporting that a person of color in a red car fired three shots, one man was down, the man down was not moving, and was last seen in an ambulance (https://twitter.com/EricWasserman1/status/1299921732594053122). The red car may have been a Dodge Charger, but after reviewing video from other angles we have concluded that the red car was not involved and the shooter was a man in white clothes the we believe could be Caucasian named Jacob Jepson. After analyzing the original stream of this shooting from Facebook at https://ift.tt/2QCFAOm and adding a clip from it embedded below, we believe that it shows the dead Patriot Prayer guy spraying something at the shooter. We also believe we hear a brief spraying sound before the first shot. If that is pepper spray than this is a self defense shooting. This Tweet contains a screenshot of the blur we believe to be a type of spray coming from the deceased before the first shot (https://twitter.com/CopBlaster/status/1299977693287477248). The un-identified Patriot Prayer member has died according to the Multnomah County District Attoreney's Office (MCDA) (https://twitter.com/MultCoDA/status/1299929181694771201). This photo of the deceased from a different angle clearly shows a Thin Blue Line flag on his shorts (https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1299944855095787521/photo/1) and The New York Times is reporting that he was wearing a Patriot Prayer hat (https://ift.tt/3gHYLku). The video shows only two shots and not three as originally reported. A photo of the deceased has surfaced from earlier in the day, According to Portland Tribune reporter Zane Sparling, he refused to be interviewed but the guy with him said they were there to stop people from attacking people, they also had paintball guns and knives (https://twitter.com/PDXzane/status/1299850435071627264/photo/2). UPDATE: This article is currently being rewritten to better document our belief that the shooter was defending himself from an attacker armed with pepper spray or bear mace. DISCLAIMER: We believe that Jacob Jepson might be the shooter based on photos we have seen online like this one https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1299967038174064645 where the shooter appears to have a tattoo like one Jepson is known to have https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1299971778601656321/photo/2, but are not certain. The shooter could be someone else with a similar tattoo, so do not use this article to form a conclusion one way or the other. #antifa #jacobjepson #patriotprayer #selfdefense
