A disagreement about a parking space at the Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood’s Cora Park Apartments, at 4207 S.E. 37th Avenue, led to the fatal shooting of Raja McCallister on November 23, 2022.
Two years later almost to the day, on November 25, 2024, the shooter – Teddy Wayne Hall Sr. – after entering a guilty plea, was sentenced to 240 months (twenty years) in prison, for three Felonies: Manslaughter in the First Degree, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
Here’s what investigators established about the shooting that took place two years ago:
Arriving Portland Police Bureau officers found an adult male victim, Raja McCallister, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds – and despite attempts to save his life, the victim was declared dead at the scene.
Multiple witnesses told officers that the victim had been arguing with Hall, the boyfriend of another resident, when Hall pulled a gun and shot McCallister four times. Later that day, Hall was arrested, and the investigation continued.
