Shocking video captured the moment a man in a right-wing Patriot Prayer cap was shot dead in Portland after a day of violent clashes between President Trump supporters and Black Lives Matter protesters.
Videographer Justin Dunlap was filming live late Saturday, casually noting new artwork on buildings as most of the day’s violence appeared to have ended when he suddenly turned toward shouting.
Two gunshots then rang out, a cloud of smoke appearing to show the gunman standing just a few feet in front of his target.
As a group of about a half-dozen shouted and fled, one of the other men started walking away — collapsing on the ground after a few steps, a panicked driver skidding to a halt just feet in front of him.
Several people rushed to help, and officers in riot gear — who say they heard the shots while policing the demonstrations — were there within minutes.
An Associated Press freelance photographer who heard three gunshots saw police medics working on the body of the victim, who appeared to be a white man. The freelancer said the man was wearing a hat bearing the insignia of Patriot Prayer, a right-wing group whose members have frequently clashed with protesters in Portland in the past.
Police said the man was shot in the chest and was declared dead at the scene. He was not immediately identified.
It was not immediately clear if the shooting was linked to fights that broke out as a caravan of about 600 vehicles with pro-Trump supporters was confronted by counter-demonstrators in the city’s downtown.
Dunlap said that the victim had earlier maced people, and someone could be heard on his video shouting that the victim was a “motherf—er who has been pushing people and jumping people the entire time.”

Skateboard guy was not directly involved in the shooting. There was only one shooter.
Anti-fa in Portland is blaming the cops and saying a cop shot him, but we all know this isn’t true. Anti-fa will keep spreading the lie until hell freezes over.
“...The one who shot this man, btw, was a 48 yr old Portland resident....not an excitable kid. He had been arrested before for violence at a demonstration.”
***************************************************
And he sure as hell was not shooting in self-defense! ANTIFA & BLM activists are SCUM OF THE EARTH!
Yes he was, he was with the shooter.
I don’t believe it was black power firearm. But it’s a good possibility the victim just a half a second prior to being shot, sprayed something towards the shooter/murderer.
No one disputed that. Fact is there was only 1 shooter, 1 murderer. The video don’t lie.
Let’s just call it what it is. A cold-blooded pre-meditated murder of a patriotic prayer - an unarmed man, executed summarily in the street by a satanic communist seditionist, aided in conspiracy by the other rioters.
2 guys in the garage in black-bloc appear to be on the lookout for and aiding the shooter, who spent much time on the phone acquiring his innocent target.
Yes - agreed. Satanic communists don’t care.
What struck me is how well coordinated the attacks are. The “peaceful” protesters bring with them all the tools necessary to break open any store, and then set it on fire. The looters are seen on video clips carrying looted items.
Unbelievable this has been allowed to go on for 3+ months since George Floyd died from covid-19. George is added to the list of covid-19 deaths because he tested positive.
>No one disputed that.
And I didn’t say he was the shooter, just that he was involved.
He might have been, “Involved” in something, but it wasn’t shooting that gun or committing murder.
They even had people in vehicles circling the blocks being looted, and the looters could be seen transferring their loot into these vehicles and then returning for more.
There was NO “smoke”. The “smoke” was not SHOT, but FLOWED rather, FROM the victim TOWARD the shooter. It was probably bear spray, or mace. The “report” of the shots was too crisp, and too loud, for it to have been a black powder arm, and the shots were in such rapid succession that only “FANNING” could have achieved it, which is a ridiculous technique. Anyway, that’s IMHO, based on a lifetime of watching movies...and some other experiences, here and there.
Anyone watching all the true crime TV programs know the forensic methods authorities successfully use to track down criminals, murderers, rapists, fraudsters and, especially, any behind-the-scenes moneybags who pay for criminals to do the dirty work for them.
Why is no one tracking down the money trail in these riots???
We constantly hear TV comments on how well-equipped the rioters and looters are when carrying out their criminal acts....but we hear nary a word about whose financing all the destruction in Portland, Minneapolis, New York, D.C., Chicago, Kenosha, wherever.
Is it so impossible or difficult for authorities to follow the money trails?
We probably would be shocked beyond belief to find out the names of individuals and organizations pumping out the $$$s to these enemies of the United States....that is, if anyone ever bothers to investigate who they are !

Portland has been Antifa central for years. They frequently gather in large numbers provoking fights. They have engaged in fights for years. They are violent, even attacking Vietnamese-American reporter Andy Ngo with a bottle full of cement which send him to the hospital with a head injury. Andy Ngo is a quiet, peaceful person who goes about his business and doesn’t bother anybody. Yet, Antifa threw a bottle full of cement right at his head. You can see it very clearly on video. I wonder if the Mayor tracked down and arrested the thug who can be seen on video attacking Any Ngo. I wonder if he got any punishment at all. And yet this passive-aggressive Mayor blames President Trump for the violence. He says that the President has provoked the violence when the Mayor was the one in control of his city and let these violent crazies run amok for years.
Sorry, but that's exactly what happened. Don't know how else you could write it. That was a lot of smoke, by the way.
I saw the video with LaVoy Finicum’s wife and daughter sitting in the back seat of his truck it terror as the FBI stopped him, had him get out of the car and then a shot was fired and the two women screamed in horror.
That was the Leroy Finicum incident with the FBI.
