Sifton (Vancouver) Shooting

[Kid@Heart]

Sorry, I have to rant a bit...




From The Columbian website August 2nd, 2013:

Deputies arrested two men for an apparent gang-related shooting outside of a Sifton-area bar early Friday morning.

A 12:33 a.m. 911 call brought deputies to the Avenue Restaurant and Bar, 9115 N.E. 117th Ave., where there was a reported disturbance with possible shots fired.

Deputies followed a vehicle they spotted leaving the bar and arrested the two people inside, Johny Hudson, 24, and Javontae N. Gibson, 19, for the alleged shooting that happened in the parking lot area of the restaurant, Clark County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Duncan Hoss said.



Mr. Gibson , while probably Innocent (At least until proven otherwise), has been arrested for similar offenses several times in the past year.


PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) - December 17, 2012

Portland police investigating reports of shots fired ended up arresting two men on unrelated charges.

Officers stopped Javontae Gibson and Brandon Lewis early Friday morning at NE Fremont Street and N. Williams Avenue.

They said that the men were in a car similar to one seen leaving the scene of a shooting at NE Rodney Avenue and NE San Rafael Street.

A search of the car allegedly turned up a loaded handgun in the glove box.



Mr. Gibson was arrested and charged with Felony Theft, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and Possession of a Loaded Firearm. He was released on bail- Multnomah County Sheriff.


Mr. Gibson was arrested on January 1, 2013 for Disorderly Conduct, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and Possession of a Loaded Firearm. He was released on bail- Multnomah County Sheriff.


Mr. Gibson was arrested on February 12, 2013 for Trespass, Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and Possession of a Loaded Firearm. He was released on bail- Multnomah County Sheriff.

Mr. Gibson was arrested on August 2, 2013 for "Drive By Shooting" and is being held pending arraignment in the Clark County Jail.

Four separate arrests (two related to shootings) in the last 8 months and he is only 19. Don't they revoke bail for someone when they commit additional offenses?

Why was this guy on the loose?


Welcome to Chicago on the Columbia.

What's wrong with you? Don't you see that he's just a poor misunderstood youth who deserves another chance to turn his life around?

Duh.... and making hand guns illegal to own would work for this guy, right???

This is obviously the profiling of a young African American man wearing a hoody (who is a convicted felon in possession of a firearm with known gang affiliations leaving the scene of a shooting). This could be our president at 19.


Hopefully the state of Washington will compensate this young man with an extended vacation to Eastern Washington wine country out in Walla Walla.

We can only hope....

We can only hope....

I live not too far away from that place. It's a shiitehole anyway. I wouldn't expect much from its patrons.

Well this is the whole debate in CA about overcrowding in the prisons. Why add to the problem? (Inject sarcasm here)

Update from "The Columbian":

Two alleged gang members appeared today in Clark County Superior Court on suspicion of a drive-by shooting early Friday outside of a Sifton-area bar.

Javontae N. Gibson, 19, and Johnny T. Hudson, 24, both of Portland, face charges of drive-by shooting and first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm at their Friday arraignment.

Judge Barbara Johnson held each defendant on $200,000 bail. Attorney Megan Peyton was appointed to defend Gibson. Hudson plans to hire an attorney.

Hudson is accused of firing the shots from a vehicle passenger seat into the parking lot of the Avenue Lounge and Restaurant, 9115 N.E. 117th Ave., while Gibson allegedly drove the vehicle, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in court. The men are allegedly members of the Hoover Crips gang. The nightclub was hosting a rap concert for rival gang members late Thursday and early Friday, according to the affidavit.

Clark County sheriff's deputies were called to the bar at 12:33 a.m. Sheriff's detectives apparently witnessed the vehicle enter the bar's parking lot, according to the affidavit. They heard gunshots about 30 seconds later, and then saw the same vehicle speed out of the parking lot, the affidavit says. The detectives followed the vehicle, until uniformed deputies, summoned to the scene, could initiate a traffic stop in the 8200 block of Northeast 117th Avenue and arrest the two men, the court documents say.
