whoever is behind this targeted assassination that occurred downtown PDX night of the Trump caravan

is about to get a big wake up call

and an even bigger one in early November 2020

the Multnomah County District Attorney's office criminal complaint shows stills from a security camera just prior to the shooting. Reinoehl turned into a parking garage to ready his gun, and had been ahead of the shooting victim only to re-emerge after his accomplice (who was walking behind the 2 Trump rally companions being stalked) looked towards him.

Field of view of the security camera looks north along the east side of S.W. 3rd Avenue. Reinoehl had been walking ahead of [shooting victim] Aaron Danielson and Chandler Pappas. Another white male in a black hoodie, identified as 'Subject #2', and a white female, both apparently associated with Reinoehl, are following behind Danielson and Pappas.

Reinoehl then turns left into the parking garage entrance and conceals himself behind a barrier in front of the bicycle rack, while reaching into a pouch on his waistband.

after Danielson and Pappas walk past the parking garage entrance, 'Subject #2' looks over to Reinoehl who then emerges again onto the sidewalk from the parking garage, and both resume following Danielson and Pappas.

The shooting occurs out of frame from the surveillance video field of view, moments thereafter.

Reinoehl is shown here just after he had turned into the parking garage entrance and is concealed behind a barrier in front of the bicycle rack, while reaching into a pouch on his waistband.

Danielson and Pappas are indicated as shown by the arrows and notation.

'Subject #2' and a white female are seen approaching on the sidewalk, just behind the stalked subjects, and are about to cross the parking garage entrance in this screenshot view.

Michael Forest Reinoehl, a self-described anti-fascist who provided security for Portland racial justice protests, appears to have targeted a participant in a pro-Trump rally, emerging from an alcove of a parking garage before firing two gunshots, one that hit the man's bear spray can and the other that proved fatal, according to a police affidavit unsealed Friday.

Police found a single Winchester .380-caliber bullet casing on the street, a metal canister of "Bear Attack Detector" that had a "large defect" in it and a collapsible metal baton just north of Aaron "Jay" Danielson's body, a detective said in the affidavit.

Danielson, 39, was pronounced dead at 8:55 p.m. last Saturday on Southwest Third Avenue, about 10 minutes after the shooting was reported. He died from a single bullet to the upper right chest, an autopsy found. The bullet was found lodged in his back.

During a search of Reinoehl's basement rental unit in a Northeast Portland house on 92nd Avenue, police found ammunition of the same caliber used in Danielson's shooting and clothing Reinoehl wore that night, prosecutors said. The search didn't appear to have turned up the gun used.

Portland police obtained a warrant Thursday afternoon charging Reinoehl with second-degree murder with a weapon and unlawful use of a weapon. That night, four officers from three different Washington agencies shot at Reinoehl after he walked out of an apartment outside Lacey, Washington, and tried to flee as they moved in to arrest him. Reinoehl was hit multiple times and died at the scene. He had a handgun but Washington investigators said it's not clear yet whether he fired it.

On Friday afternoon, a judge unsealed the affidavits for his arrest warrant and a warrant for the search of Reinoehl's residence. The documents offer new details of the deadly encounter between Reinoehl and Danielson shortly after a car caravan in support of President Trump had left Portland's downtown last weekend.

Several witnesses told police they saw Danielson holding a can of mace or bear spray and then heard two shots, the affidavit said.

Police found damage to the bear spray canister that was retrieved from the street, leading investigators to believe it was struck by the first of two bullets fired by Reinoehl.

Police slowed down video captured by a livestreamer of the shooting and said it appeared that a shot was fired, followed by an explosion of the chemical and then a quick second gunshot, the affidavit said. Danielson stumbled two or three steps before collapsing in the street.

Detectives found a loaded 9mm handgun on Danielson's waistband and three magazines of 9mm red-tip ammunition in his right cargo pants pocket, the affidavit said. Surveillance video from the nearby Third Avenue parking garage showed Danielson holding a baton in his left hand and the bear spray in his right hand before the shooting, according to police.

Reinoehl is seen hiding in an alcove of the garage and reaching into a pouch or waistband as Danielson and a friend, Chandler Pappas, walk south on Third Avenue.

Homicide Detective Rico Beniga wrote that Reinoehl "conceals himself, waits and watches" as Danielson and Pappas pass him.

After the two men go by, Reinoehl followed them, walking west across the street moments before the gunshots were fired, police said.

Investigators said it appeared as if Reinoehl stood holding his gun with both hands extended when he fired. After the shots, his right hand remained extended and pointed at Danielson before he turned to run away, police said.

Both Danielson and Pappas were wearing Patriot Prayer hats, signifying their support of the right-wing group based in Vancouver.

Pappas told police that he and Danielson had been drinking earlier in the evening and were facing off with Reinoehl and a man who was with him when the gunshots occurred.

A witness told police he heard one of the men confronting Danielson and Pappas say something like, "We're going to (expletive) kill you," the affidavit said.

Justin Dunlap, who caught the shooting on his livestream video, said he heard Reinoehl or the man near him say something similar to "You wanna go."

A motorist driving by told police he saw a Black man in the area say "Hey, there's the guy." A third witness said Reinoehl "peeked out" of the alcove as Danielson and Pappas went by before approaching them, according to the affidavit.

As part of the investigation, police learned that Reinoehl had sent a text message to his teenage son on Aug. 7 that read, "Sell me the gun for a quarter pound of weed and $100 I'm getting tired of this shit I need a piece now," according to the affidavit.

Reinoehl was identified on social media within hours of the shooting. His younger sister also told detectives that the man seen in the footage was Reinoehl.

Police had seized a gun from Reinoehl during an early morning protest downtown on July 5, but it was of a different caliber than the one used to shoot Danielson, according to the affidavit. Reinoehl was given a citation then, accused of possessing a loaded gun in a public place, resisting arrest and interfering with police on Southwest Main Street. Police took a Walther 9mm semi-automatic handgun from Reinoehl. The citation was dropped by the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office on July 30, and Reinoehl spent no time behind bars. The office earlier this week said it was still reviewing the case.

Rienoehl described himself on social media as "100 % ANTIFA" but later said in an interview that he wasn't a member of antifa or other groups. He appeared to admit in the report published by Vice News on Thursday that he fired the shots at Danielson. He said he acted in self-defense, believing he and a friend of his were about to be maced or stabbed, was aware of what he did and ran from the scene.

"I had no choice," he told the interviewer, then added, "I mean, I, I had a choice. I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color, but I wasn't going to do that."

Witness sought in fatal Portland shooting

Portland police released this photo on Friday, Sept. 4, 2020, of a witness they're seeking in the fatal shooting of Aaron "Jay" Danielson the weekend before in downtown Portland.

Reinoehl also said lawyers advised him against saying anything, but that "I feel it's important that the world at least gets a little bit of what's really going on, because there's been a lot of propaganda put out."

Portland police also Friday asked for the public's help in identifying a man who was with Reinoehl on Saturday night at the time of the shooting, wearing a black hood, mask and sweatshirt.

Detectives said they're still interested in interviewing the man who also ran from the scene. They ask that anyone with information on his identity contact Detective Beniga at 503-823-0457 or rico.beniga _at_ portlandoregon.gov

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt said in a statement that investigators in Washington state also are trying to find out more about what led to Reinoehl's death.

"The loss of life is tragic," Schmidt said in a statement. "It has a profound impact on families, friends and community members. The apprehension of a fugitive, in particular one under investigation for murder, is especially dangerous for law enforcement. I am thankful that no one else was injured or killed during last night's incident in Lacey, Washington, and I appreciate the coordination between law enforcement agencies throughout this investigation."

another security camera screen capture, a couple of seconds later than the one posted 04.Sep.2020 21:16 ^^above :

Reinoehl is drawing his gun in this view, preparing to fire.

a laid-off middle aged lighting designer, Justin Dunlap states he only began live streaming in downtown Portland as of July 2020, and that he's "a month and a half into the independent journalist game"

[see discussion @30:00 forward into the ^ Justin Dunlap interview video linked in preceding comment]

Reese Monson (^^see above), driver of the black Dodge Charger, and another red [Dodge Charger?] car are confirmed by Justin Dunlap as two vehicles frequently seen at/near protest locations in downtown Portland during summer 2000, as part of the BLM protest organizers' security detail.

These two vehicles are the ones which are present just prior to, and at the time of the shooting:

• the red [Charger?] car ran a red light to get through the intersection. This car stops curbside, right lane at the parking garage entrance where the shooting is about to occur. When the light turns green, a black SUV in the next lane over to its left — middle of the street. Both the car and SUV are blocking lanes with engines still running.

• The black Charger (Monson's car) almost instantly pulls across the intersection, after being pre-positioned there at the traffic light 5 seconds prior to the shooting, and pulls up behind the red [Charger?] car. Occupants from both cars are very briefly interacting, communicating [Dunlap can not confirm what was heard on the video recordings, claims he was "more than 50 feet away" and couldn't make out their words] with the shooter (Reinoehl) and Suspect #2, before they take off running (this is documented in the parking garage security camera footage) down the street within 10 seconds after the shooting.

black Dodge Charger (Monson's car) is also carrying the female 'medic' who emerges from that car to, apparently, attend to the shooting victim lying on the pavement.
Police arrive at the shooting scene within 30 seconds later.

Dunlap has no explanation of why there are 2 (and then 3, after the black Charger arrives) vehicles stopped, across 2 lanes, in the middle of the street mere seconds prior to the shooting. 2 of these vehicles were ones that Dunlap has clearly seen before at BLM protests in downtown Portland.
(Dunlap also mentions in the interview a white Dodge Charger with under-chassis lighting and "a much louder engine" that he has seen around BLM protests in downtown Portland; not present at this shooting scene however.)

• Dunlap is not able to identify and has no recollection of ever before seeing the black SUV which also arrived on the shooting scene just prior to the shooting, and stopped in the middle lane of the street adjacent left of the BLM red 'security vehicle' car in the curbside lane, claiming, "it scares me".

• Dunlap says he heard these words : "We got a couple of 'em right here" —
but he does not know and can't confirm who said those words, or to whom.

• Skateboard guy: Dunlap thinks (?) that the 'skateboard guy' who stopped, hopped off of his skateboard, reached down to the pavement with his flashlight may be a streamer; and also that he may have been hit by the bear spray/mace ("he took a bunch of that mace"...) which had just been discharged by the shooting victim (Danielson) less than 10 feet away from him.

• Suspect #2 returns to the shooting scene after the black Charger drives up.


"I'm just a silly guy with a selfie stick in the wrong place at the wrong time.... or ?? the right place at the right time," says Dunlap.

Dunlap also said (apparently not yet having seen the VICE interview with Reinoehl just prior to his death-by-US-marshal) that Michael Reinoehl's claim he wanted to fire the first shot of a civil war, openly admitting and self-justifying his murder of Danielson etc. was "untenable" - even as Dunlap decried-condemned violence and use of weapons, deadly armaments at protests.
