Tensions have boiled over in a southwestern Washington city near Portland, Ore., following a vigil for a Black man shot and killed by law enforcement.

Recent protests outside the South L.A. sheriff’s station have drawn longtime activists and others who have made attending rallies against police violence part of their weekly routine.

Family and friends had described Peterson as a former high school football player and the proud father of an infant daughter. “I can say that our agency is grieving as is the Peterson family and the community,” Atkins said. “As the community grieves, I call for there to be a respectful and dignified observance of the loss of life in this matter. There is always the potential for misinformation, doubt and confusion — and there may be those who wish to sow seeds of doubt.”

Investigators said Friday evening that the narcotics task force had contacted a man suspected of selling illegal drugs in a motel parking lot and that he ran off with officers following. The man produced a handgun and the officers backed off, investigators said. A short time later, the man encountered three Clark County deputies, all of whom fired their pistols at the man, the investigators said.
