Portland police identified a robbery suspect fatally shot by an officer Thursday as 17-year-old Quanice Derrick Hayes.
Police responded to a report of armed robbery near a Northeast Portland motel Thursday morning, according to a release from the police bureau.
Police originally reported Hayes allegedly used a handgun to rob a man sitting in his car near the motel.
When police later encountered Hayes near the Banfield Pet Hospital, Hayes fled, according to the release. Authorities searched a nearby neighborhood.
Upon encountering Hayes again, an officer shot and killed him. Police attempted to deliver medical aid, but determined Hayes was deceased, according to the release.
Police reported finding a handgun near Hayes following the shooting, but later identified it as a "realistic-looking replica firearm."
The shooting happened approximately two hours after the original report of robbery.
Later Thursday evening, officers responded to a report of a man in a vehicle threatening to kill himself in Southeast Portland.
