Press release
A suspect is in custody following a weeks-long armed robbery investigation.
Published
On Thursday, May 28, 2026, at approximately 8:00 p.m., officers assigned to the Portland Police Bureau's East Precinct contacted a man who reported he had been robbed at gunpoint about two hours earlier while unloading groceries outside his residence in the 15000 block of Southeast Powell Boulevard. Officers determined that two suspects stole groceries from the victim's vehicle. When confronted, they attempted to flee, leading to a physical confrontation during which the male suspect allegedly pointed a firearm at the victim. A female suspect also attempted to steal the victim's vehicle but was unsuccessful. The victim recovered the stolen property before the suspects fled the area. The male victim was later transported to a hospital for evaluation.
PPB's Major Crimes Team assumed the investigation and identified a suspect and suspect vehicle. In addition, detectives obtained arrest and search warrants.
On Wednesday, August 5, 2026, PPB's Special Emergency Reaction Team (SERT) and Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT) served the warrants at a residence in the 3200 block of Southeast 112th Avenue, and they arrested Danay R. Reed Jr., 49, of Portland. Reed was transported to the Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) and lodged on the following charges: Robbery in the First Degree and Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
During the search of the residence, investigators located and seized three firearms.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information, who has not talked with police, is asked to submit a tip. The case number is 26-154860.
