Two juveniles and one adult were arrested following a carjacking.
On Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at approximately 10:00 a.m., East Precinct officers responded to reports of a carjacking at gunpoint in a parking lot in the area of Southeast 143rd Avenue and Southeast Stark Street. When they arrived, officers contacted a man who said his vehicle was stolen at gunpoint by numerous individuals.
About an hour later, the stolen vehicle was spotted in the area of Southeast 172nd Avenue and Southeast Ankeny Street. PPB's partners at the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office and Gresham Police Department attempted to stop the vehicle, but it eluded. Eventually, the vehicle crashed into a garbage truck near the intersection of Northeast 178th Avenue and Northeast Davis Street. Three suspects fled on foot but they were located and arrested. One of the individuals was carrying a gun and it was recovered.
One suspect has been identified as Julian D. Lane, 27, of Gresham. He was transported to the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) and lodged on the following charges: Robbery in the First Degree, Robbery in the Second Degree, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, and Attempting to Elude a Police Officer. The two other male suspects, ages 15 and 16, were transported to the Donald E Long Juvenile Detention Center and lodged on a number of charges including Robbery in the First Degree and Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle.
PPB's Major Crimes Unit is investigating this case. Anyone with information is asked to contact crimetips@police.portlandoregon.gov and reference case number 25-25380.
