A man whose ingenious pop-up swimming pool kept the homeless cool during the recent heat wave was fatally stabbed in the same spot just one day later, according to Portland police.
Officers identified Tyson L. Morlock as the man who was found stabbed in the inner eastside Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood at Division Street and Southeast Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard around 3:37 a.m. on Thursday, July 1.
Despite life-saving efforts from paramedics, he died shortly thereafter in a nearby hospital, according to authorities.
Morlock, 27, had been interviewed the previous day, June 30, by a reporter on assignment for the Reuters news agency.
"There's not a lot of places you can go in the community where you can be safe," Morlock said, according to a tweet from the reporter, Sergio Olmos.

“You knew we were snakes when you picked us up, so it should come to no surprise that we bit and killed you.”
Let’s give CREDIT where it’s due in this case, and that’s to the media - for portraying ‘the homeless’ as normal people, just like you and me, who are simply ‘down on their luck’.
There are still enough people who choose to believe the media (virtually all on the Left these days), or who believe the media without even knowing it (many on the right, unfortunately).
In any case, if he had been aware of just how dangerous many of ‘the homeless’ are, he likely would not have been out there, or at least would have had a sidearm with him. After all, most of ‘the homeless’ know other people who COULD help them out (parents, siblings, others, etc.), but choose not to...that should be a clue to all.
Should have equipped the pool with laser sharks.
Might have got the guy what stabbed him.
Don’t pet the bison.
The trash killing off the good. Every city in America experiencing the same thing.
Bongino is right. Get away from urban areas run by liberals now. It’s only going to get worse.
Prayers to Mr. Morlock's family.
Sometimes you have to SHOW people what it's like in South Africa, and, in reality, it's really a 'best case' with those in charge, as they still have some gun ownership and still allow armed security. This is today's South Africa. Needless to say, before 'they' were empowered, there was no need for security at their homes:
I’ll have the schadenfreude with a side of fries, please!
Hillsborough County MLK is fine... On one end is Raymond James Stadium (The Buccaneers home) on the other end is Plant City. In between are $400k homes, retail, hospitals. Mango is the dumpiest area... but even that is improving!
Sure, spread the word. Get every rich leftist piece of garbage out here amongst us.
Many of the homeless are also predatory sex offenders who’ve escaped probation oversight by blending in to the liberal approved homeless population.

Story as funny as that white woman killed by a black assailant who was studying how evil and racist America is to become an advocate for black criminals. Sometimes your only purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.
‘Built pool’. Lol
Dragging out a plastic kiddie pool and filling it with water from a hydrant is not ‘building a pool’
He oozes insipid compassion and smug self righteousness.
“Homicide detectives say the person who stabbed Morlock remained at the scene and was interviewed, but “has not been charged at this time and we are not releasing his name.”
Detectives and the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office continue to work the case.”
Uh?? More proof we live in an idiocracy, or worse an insane asylum.
“...guy who built a shack for a poor homeless woman...liberal friends thought it was so adorable...”
The guy was tired of walking out to the woods for BJs.
But did he live long enough to realize his ideals got him killed?
It’s fixed now.
