A body was found at a home in the area of NE 65th and Failing, and a number of suspicious circumstances prompted the police to call in homicide detectives.
Detectives are trying to find a person associated with the home who is now missing. It is unclear at this time who that person is or if there is any relation to the dead body.
Tear gas was used in the area Saturday night, hours after homicide detectives were called in to investigate.
Officials said the location had a number of “security features” that made it tough for the special tactics team to secure it. It took until the early hours of Saturday for the site to be secure.
Around 11 a.m., police were sent to the house to check on the welfare of a person living there. But they soon called for homicide detectives to join them.

Around 9:30 p.m., a SERT team deployed the tear gas and some area residents were evacuated. Portland police asked other residents to stay inside their homes.
What sounded like shots being fired turned out to be the flash bangs and tear gas being used.
Officials said detectives are trying to locate a missing person connected to the home, and that this case continues to be investigated as a missing person case.
