At the request of Clackamas County District Attorney John Wentworth, the Oregon Department of Justice is investigating the Milwaukie Police Department shooting of 21-year-old Hunter Newtwon last month.
Newton was pulled over in a Taco Bell parking lot early in the morning of Sept. 30 for driving with a suspended license when officers ordered him out of the car. According to the Clackamas County DA’s office, Newton refused to exit his car and resisted when officers tried to pull him from the vehicle.
He was unarmed when Officer Kwasean Akom and Sergeant Eduardo Sanchez shot him, the DA’s office previously said.
