Good evening and new at 5A New
Year's Day shooting leaves
a home in Northeast Portland riddled
with at least 20 bullet holes.
The shots fired just a few hours
after a family in the Culley
neighborhood rang in 2023.
Well, thanks for joining us.
I'm David molko.
Fortunately, nobody was hurt.
Though as Christelle Kumoi reports tonight,
the homeowner has questions and also,
apparently, evidence showing
who might be responsible.
I'm appalled of who would
even do something like this.
Ronisha Harris's home in the Collie
neighborhood is riddled with bullets.
She's beyond angry.
Her home and family were targeted
in this shooting on New Year's Day,
she says, for no apparent reason.
No kid should be happened to be walking
up on the first day of New Year's to
massive gun shooting inside of a house.
Harris is a traveling nurse
and wasn't there at the time.
The house has been under renovation
since August, but that night.
Her adult daughter and seven-year
old grandson stopped by.
Thankfully they were in another room.
No one was hurt.
It was at 4:00 AM on January 1st.
It was just blazing.
Just think, if we were living here,
if our house wasn't getting remodeled,
we possibly could have been.
Somebody pass could have been dead.
This is video from a neighbor's
security camera that caught
the whole thing on tape.
The footage shows two people
get out of a white vehicle.
Somebody knows that car
and knows those people.
You can see them walk towards
a home until they disappear.
They're in the corner out of
camera range, then moments later.
You hear what appears to be several gunshots,
bullets pierced through walls
and windows of the home.
This photo from Portland police
with evidence markers shows officers
found more than 20 casings on scene.
Harris is not sure why
the family was targeted.
I just don't know. But I know
that the violence needs to stop.
She hopes the security footage leads to
the arrest of the people responsible.
I refuse to let my grandson grow
up in these type of type of
circumstances. Enough is enough.
Christel Kumoi reporting there.
Meanwhile, police have made an
arrest after a shooting last
night on E Burnside and 122nd.
The victim was rushed to the hospital
with multiple gunshot wounds.
Portland police say witnesses and
surveillance video led them to 60
year old parish Riggins Junior,
who is now charged with attempted murder.
Investigators say when they arrested him,
they found a gun and drugs
that included fentanyl pills.
The victim is expected to
survive developing tonight.
Oregon State Police have shot and wounded.
Someone in Albany troopers were
assisting sheriff's deputies who they
say were chasing a suspect in a car.
This was just before noon near
SW 9th and Lyon.
Oregon State Police say the
shooting happened when the pursuit
stopped under the Pacific Blvd.
underpass.
It's unclear exactly what led up to
those moments or how many shots were fired.
The suspect was taken to the hospital.
Albany police are now handling
the investigation.
We will update you when we learn more
about the suspect and the circumstances.
The owners of a Funeral Home in
the Dows are cleaning up tonight.
After an SUV crashed right into the building,
a neighbor says he heard what
appeared to be a vehicle speeding
through an intersection on Kelly Ave.
and then heard a loud crash.
He ran over to find the driver trapped.
He called 911,
first responders pulled them out,
and no word on their condition.
The Spencer,
Libby and Powell Funeral Home
has pretty significant damage.
You see it there to the building.
Let's get to a car called Kyle.
Investigation into steep gas prices
in one station in Woodburn that's
charging nearly $7.00 a gallon for
regular unleaded for prospective.
That is $3 a gallon more than
the statewide average.
Investigative reporter Kylie Boshi
joins us now. Kyle, good to see you.
But this is not the first time you have
looked into this particular station.
David. We decided to take
another look at this.
After getting several emails,
drivers complained they had no
idea how much they were paying
for gas until was too late.
Several people.
Said they were blindsided the
usual $50.00 fill up and ended
up costing them more than $100.
Nobody likes high gas prices,
but it's even worse when you're
stuck paying more than you expect.
And at the ARCO AM PM in Woodburn,
I think I just got screwed.
Royal customers were shocked
after we warned them.
Did you check your receipt?
I didn't until now.
Check the receipt for 669.
The Arco AM PM in Woodburn is charging
669 a gallon for regular unleaded gas.
That's $3 more than the
Chevron across the street.
Well, this is crazy.
This is absolutely crazy.
Not only do consumers complain
gas prices are outrageously high
at the ARCO AM PM in Woodburn,
but they're not posted out front.
There's a big banner over the price sign,
so that's pretty deceptive.
And I'm going to go in there and talk to
her right now and ask what's going on.
Chris Lemieux had no idea how much he
was paying for gas until it was too late.
Employees said there was
nothing they could do.
His $90.00 fill up was nearly double
what Lemieux would normally pay.
That was our lunch. Well,
we were, you know what I mean?
So it's, yeah, pretty messed up
you fought with on letter.
Please, two years ago,
a KGW investigation looked
into this exact same issue.
Turned out in Oregon,
gas stations are not required to post
signs on the street for passing drivers.
Instead, they just need to
display prices on the pump,
which the ARCO AM PM does.
Records show over the past two years
there have been 51 consumer complaints
filed with the Oregon Department
of Justice about the ARCO station.
Woodburn of those complaints,
most involve claims of
charging an excessive price.
The complaints were quickly resolved,
records show,
because in most cases gas stations
can charge whatever they want.
He's pretty messed up.
A lawyer representing the ARCO AM PM
in Woodburn explained the station is a
franchisee of BP ARCO and is charged
higher prices than neighboring stations.
This makes it necessary to
charge more for consumers.
Best advice, confirm the price
of gas before filling up.
And if you're driving through Woodburn
along I-5, be especially mindful.
If you pull into that ARCO station,
well, maybe a local lawmaker will
take it upon themselves to create
some changes around transparency.
Appreciate that Kyle's New Year new
rules that includes for food trucks.
Across Portland, because the county is
now enforcing how owners and operators
manage what goes down the sink.
Let's bring in Joe Raineri downtown.
Joe, this has been in the works for a while.
What kind of reaction were you getting today?
Well, a lot of the food cart owners
I spoke with knew this was coming,
but some of them tell me they're
gonna find a way to keep up with the
cost to make sure they can stay open.
Now going forward, David,
the new rules from the county are going to
require food carts to have two options.
One to make sure their cart
is connected to a sewer.
The other option is to have it connected
to one of these cubes you see out here.
This is just one of the cubes
along SW 3rd in downtown Portland.
Now these cubes are connected
to the food carts by a pipe,
and the water from washing dishes
and food are restored in here.
Well, it's also a safety hazard at times,
too, because cars have been
known to crash into them,
forcing spills and causing
health and safety risks.
Now,
I spoke to a couple of different
owners of these food carts here
in downtown who tell me it's not
cheap to keep pumping all of the
wastewater out of these cubes.
Filardo Saldano runs la Pinata
Tacos along SW 3rd Ave.
he told me he has pumped at
least three times a week,
at a cost of about $60.00 each time.
That adds up to more than $700.00 a month.
That's a big chunk of his profit
a month that goes into complying.
With these new regulations,
I spoke with some owners who tell
me they have to cost cost them
actually more than $1000 a month.
That we have to do.
I mean, which is better to have
someone to take it or, you know,
be able to be on business.
Actually wastewater that it's being
generated from these mobile units are
full of debris that can attract rodents.
They can, when breaks do happen,
they contaminate the stormwater
drains which go into the Willamette.
Now that was Jeff Martin,
who you just heard with the Multnomah
County Environmental Health Department.
We spoke with him last fall about this,
and it was also four years ago
when the Oregon Health Authority
implemented these new rules.
Now, if these cubes are not
emptied out on a regular basis,
the county has the right to find
them or shut them down completely.
As for how often they need to be pumped out,
the county hasn't got back to me on
how often they're hoping to do that.
Reporting live in downtown Portland.
Joe Raineri, KGW.
The cast of doing business.
Thank you, Joe.
And speaking at dollar signs,
Oregon's new paid leave program,
also went into effect with the New Year.
That means the state is going to be
taking more money out of your paycheck.
The funds are going to go toward
ensuring eligible workers get
up to 12 weeks of paid leave.
A year's time can be taken for things
like the birth or adoption of a child,
serious injury or illness,
or taking care of a seriously
ill family member.
It's also going to be available for
survivors of domestic violence,
sexual assault,
stalking or harassment.
Really takes again
that burden off of folks' shoulders
to to know that they're going to it's
not going to be leave that
they're going to have to take
unpaid or they could potentially
lose their job.
Well, the program is funded by a trust.
All workers in Oregon will have
.6% of their gross wages withheld
for the fund every paycheck.
And then businesses with more
than 25 employees will also
have to contribute another .4%.
Now all the funds will start
coming out right away.
The paid leave benefits won't
actually start being paid out.
Until September.
Authorities say are saying there is no
sign of foul play after they found the
body of a missing Oregon State student.
Steve mainwaring, from Klamath Falls,
had been missing for more than two weeks.
His family said.
The last time they talked to him,
he mentioned he might go camping or fishing,
though they had expected
him home for Christmas.
Now on Sunday,
sheriff's deputies found his car and
his body next to it in a remote area
of Mary's Peak in Benton County.
Mainwaring was an airman in
the Oregon Air National Guard
and an engineering student.
At OSU.
