Investigators ID three Clark County deputies involved in Hazel Dell shooting

Investigators have identified three Clark County sheriff’s deputies who were involved in the shooting of a 30-year-old Black man last week in Hazel Dell.

The Vancouver Police Department — which is handling the release of information and leading the investigation into the shooting — previously said four deputies made a traffic stop at 7:41 p.m. Thursday near Northeast 68th Street and Northeast Second Avenue in Hazel Dell, and one of the deputies shot Jenoah Donald, the driver.

Clark County sees high demand for large, expensive houses

The Camas-area house was just under 7,300 square feet, the biggest that Connor Zuvich had ever listed for sale. He was prepared to be patient; it’s not unusual for houses of that size to sit on the market for months, and this particular house had taken about a year to find a buyer when it sold in 2016.

But the first call came in within minutes after the listing went up in mid-December, and there were four more offers in the next three days. By Day Four the house was under contract, and at $100,500 more than the original $1,499,500 asking price.

B.1.1.7 was first spotted in the United Kingdom last year and has proven to be much more transmissible than original novel coronavirus.
