PORTLAND, Oregon (COIN) — A rideshare driver who was shot and killed in Southeast Portland Tuesday night has been identified by police as 42-year-old Joshua Kelvin of Aumsville.

The Portland Police Bureau said Kelvin’s family has been notified of his death.

A teenager was also shot in the incident and was in critical condition in hospital. However, police have not released an update on the boy’s condition.
