Police in Portland, Ore., on Saturday released the identity of a man arrested in connection with a shooting at an alternative high school Friday that wounded four students, one of them critically.
Lonzo Deshawn Murphy, 22, was arrested by members of the department’s gang enforcement team after his vehicle was stopped at North Interstate Avenue and Going Street at 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Murphy is being held without bail due to a parole violation related to a 2013 robbery conviction, according to the Oregonian. Lonzo Deshawn Murphy, 22, has been identified by police as a “person of interest,” but investigators have not named him as the gunmen in Friday’s shooting at Rosemary Anderson High School, according to the Associated Press. Authorities are still looking for two other suspects who were at the scene of the shooting, the AP reported.
A handgun was seized from Murphy’s vehicle, police said. About half an hour after making the arrest, police searched an apartment five blocks from the shooting scene as part of their investigation.

“The nexus of it had to do with gang activity,” Simpson told the AP. “The proximity to the school was happenstance, if you will. It doesn’t sound like it had anything to do directly with the school.”
One of the victims, Taylor Michelle Zimmers, 16, was upgraded Saturday from critical to serious condition, according to the AP.

According to the AP:
Police have designated Jackson-Liday as a gang member, a formal process that requires officers to develop evidence and provide the alleged gang member an opportunity to appeal, Simpson said. Franklin is known by officers to be affiliated with a gang but has not been designated a gang member, he said. Zimmers and Batson have no apparent gang affiliations, Simpson said.
