Hazelwood homicide victim was suspect’s cousin: Portland police
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The Portland Police Bureau has identified the victim of a homicide that happened in the Hazelwood neighborhood on Tuesday.
Police said Portland resident Cecil Yahtin, 32, died of homicide by gunshot and stab wounds, according to the medical examiner. The family was notified of his death and provided a photo to the public but requested privacy.
Detectives said they determined the victim and the suspect, 27-year-old Jarrod Leo Yahtin-Cloud, are cousins. Yahtin-Cloud was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on second-degree murder charges after he was found overnight Wednesday morning, police said in a release earlier this week.
