Officers said they were dispatched Friday at approximately 8:45 a.m. regarding a report of Phillip E. Pierce, 37, missing in the 9300 block of Southeast Sun Crest Drive.
“After an extensive effort to locate him, officers developed information that the man may be inside the locked and secured home,” they wrote. “They forced entry and searched the home to do a welfare check. Inside, they found the man deceased. ”
The medical examiner determined he died from a gunshot wound and called the death a homicide.
Neighbors reportedly described Pierce as friendly
“I would see him in his garage working and we would stop and talk,” neighbor Harold R. told Portland Fox affiliate KPTV. “He’s always been very calm, very collected.”
Officers said his family asked for privacy before identifying Golde as the suspect.
The wife’s whereabouts are unknown, cops said. They suggest she could be driving a 2015 burnt orange Toyota 4Runner with the Oregon license plate 501HSB.
