Police have yet to confirm his identity. |
| “Rest in Peace Jay,” Trump wrote on Sunday evening, retweeting a post by Amy Kremer, co-founder and co-chair of Women for Trump, identifying the man who was shot and killed in Portland on Saturday amid skirmishes between Black Lives Matter protesters and Trump supporters as "Jay Bishop". | |
| Earlier on Sunday, the founder of Patriot Prayer group, which members can frequently be spotted amongst the participants of pro-Trump rallies, confirmed that the man was “a good friend and a suporter of Patriot Prayer.” | |
| Neither the group, nor police have confirmed the identity of the man. | |
| However, reports on social media have been circulating, alleging the victim was also a supporter of Blue Lives Matter, a movement in support of law enforcement. | |
| While Kremer’s post blamed “Antifa,” a loosely organized self-avowed anti-fascist group, for the man’s death, police have not charged anyone with the shooting, with a suspect still believed to be at large. | |
| The alleged Patriot Player activist was shot on Saturday evening as clashes between Black Lives Matter protesters and pro-Trump supporters erupted in downtown Portland after some 600 cars wheeled into the city as part of the ‘Trump caravan.’ | |
