THE FACTS:
On May 23, 2023 a man was out with a friend at a strip club. They were joined by two of the friend’s family members and all four eventually went to a second strip club on NE Columbia Boulevard in Portland. While at the second location, Tyree Scott was cut off from drinking by the bartender because he was becoming belligerent. Eventually all four men left the club and as the victim was driving away, Scott pulled out a gun and fired a single shot at the victim from about 70 feet away, breaking the driver’s side window glass and hitting the victim in the left hand.
The victim drove himself to the Salmon Creek hospital.
