There is no suspect information or known motive for Marshall’s death, according to the news release.
Simpson said detectives are aware that Marshall may have been affiliated with a gang. However, he said they don’t know whether that played a role in Marshall’s death. The gang is not familiar to Portland police, Simpson said, and appears to be in the Vancouver area. Detectives have been in contact with Vancouver law enforcement, he said.
Friends of Marshall’s said on Facebook that he had attended Vancouver area schools and enjoyed skateboarding.
