Police offer reward for help in last week’s fatal hit-and-run


Police say this is similar to the suspect’s vehicle.

The Portland Police Bureau just released a statement and photo they hope will help them find the suspect in a fatal hit-and-run case that happened on NE 122nd Avenue last week.

On Thursday, August 27th at 2:15am, 52-year old James Wagner was struck and killed by someone driving what investigators believe to be a four-door Toyota Corolla similar to the one in the photo above. The police also say that the vehicle would have glass broken out of the headlight on the passenger side.
