Note: Update at the bottom of the post. killed Trump supporter
On Saturday night, a Trump-supporting man was shot and killed in Portland, Oregon, after a caravan of Trump supporters clashed with BLM/Antifa protesters (they have been identified as associated with either/both groups).
The Associated Press reported.
It wasn’t clear if the shooting was linked to fights that broke out as a caravan of about 600 vehicles was confronted by protesters in the city’s downtown.
An Associated Press freelance photographer heard three gunshots and then observed police medics working on the body of the victim, who appeared to be a white man. The freelancer said the man was wearing a hat bearing the insignia of Patriot Prayer, a right-wing group whose members have frequently clashed with protesters in Portland in the past.
The victim was shot because he was a Trump supporter or at least thought to be a Trump supporter. Just before he was shot, a BLM/Antifa protester screams, “We got a Trumper right there.” Seconds later, another leftist shoots and kills, the alleged Trump supporter.
It sounds like someone is shouting, “We got a Trumper right here” just before the shots are fired and the man is killed. pic.twitter.com/MMCnp5iwtj

Andy Ngô also reported, “I am not sad that a f—ing fascist died tonight,” says a woman at the Antifa gathering in downtown Portland. The crowd laughs and cheers. The ID of the deceased is not confirmed, but he is believed to be a Trump & blue lives supporter.
Just heard that the man killed is affiliated with my group. Just had drinks with him last Saturday.

One death wasn’t enough for the violent protesters. Per the District Herald Newspaper, “Following the fatal shooting, rioters also surrounded and assaulted Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson. When Gibson retreated into a gas station, rioters broke the windows and threatened the owner.”

They won’t call the violent marxist thugs of Antifa/BLM, who’ve been rioting in Portland for 3 months, the far left but this is how they report a murder. #shortskirtdefence https://t.co/iFEOhyPLAp

Rita, it’s the NY Times. To them, anyone to the right of Josef Stalin is far-right.
President Trump offered to send the National Guard to Portland and calm down the riots. In fact, he’s offered many times. But Portland Mayor Wheeler and Oregon Governor Kate Brown have rejected every presidential attempt to help. The death of this still unnamed Trump supporter is on their heads.
UPDATE:
The video below shows the aftermath of the shooting. A man rushes to the victim and asks, “Are you okay?” A female protester who was also a medic came over to help. “Get the f–k out of here!” the first man screams. to help. Another protester who came over with the medic says, “She’s a f–king medic! She’s trying to help him, so let her help!” The victim’s friend changes his mind and lets her help. Soon the Cops show up clear and the area, while one helps with the first aid. Other cops start asking witnesses what happened:
