PORTLAND — Portland Police are investigating an apparent homicide that happened Friday night at an apartment building at 214 Brighton Ave, leaving one man dead.
Responding officers arrived at the residence a little after 9 p.m., finding the victim but not a suspect. Assistant Police Chief Vern Malloch said in a press release issued later Friday night that the incident remains under investigation and the perpetrator is not believed to be in the area.
