A Multnomah County Jury found 26-year-old Xavier Dorell Bolden guilty of Murder in the November 2013 shooting death of Duriel Harris outside a Portland nightclub. Bolden was sentenced to life in prison.
The victim, 30-year-old Duriel Joseph Harris, was shot and killed by Bolden outside the Fontaine Bleau Nightclub on November 9, 2013. The nightclub was located at 237 Northeast Broadway but has since closed for good.
On the night of the shooting, North Precinct and Gang Enforcement Team officers responded to a large disturbance and shooting outside the club. Officers arrived to find a crowd of 75-100 people involved in a disturbance and Harris suffering from multiple gunshot wounds Harris died at the scene and officers learned that two other people suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds during the disturbance.
In September 2014, Bolden was arrested on a murder warrant in Las Vegas, Nevada by the Las Vegas Criminal Apprehension Team and later extradited to Oregon to face prosecution.
Homicide and Gang Enforcement Team detectives worked collaboratively with the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office to investigate this case, leading to the arrest and conviction of Bolden. Anonymous tips given to Crime Stoppers of Oregon and a few brave witnesses coming forward were critical in securing the indictment and eventual conviction in this case.
