U.S. MARSHALS SEEK FUGITIVE WANTED IN BEAVERTON CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE CASE

The Beaverton Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in locating a fugitive wanted in connection with a 2022 child sexual abuse investigation in Beaverton. The suspect is also wanted in multiple states on additional child sexual abuse-related charges.

Erick A. De Leon, also known as Alex Rosado Lopez, is wanted on an active felony arrest warrant stemming from a 2022 Beaverton Police Department investigation involving the alleged sexual abuse of a 12-year-old child. Following the investigation, De Leon was indicted in 2022 on the following charges:
Two counts of Attempted R**e in the First Degree
Two counts of Sexual Abuse in the First Degree

De Leon has remained wanted on the outstanding felony warrant.

In addition to the charges in Oregon, De Leon is wanted by authorities in Wisconsin in connection with child sexual abuse material offenses and in Georgia on additional child sexual abuse-related charges.

The U.S. Marshals Service is coordinating efforts to locate and apprehend De Leon and announced a reward in late September for information leading to his arrest.

The Beaverton Police Department is working to bring attention to this case and encourages anyone with information regarding De Leon’s whereabouts to contact law enforcement.

Anyone who sees De Leon should avoid approaching him and immediately contact law enforcement. Individuals with information regarding his whereabouts are encouraged to contact the U.S. Marshals Service or the Beaverton Police Department.

De Leon may be using multiple names, including Alex Rosado Lopez.

The Beaverton Police Department remains committed to protecting vulnerable members of our community and holding individuals accused of crimes against children accountable.

Heads up: a fire drill is happening in the sky this Sunday. The annual evacuation drill of the Portland Aerial Tram will happen 9 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 11. This year, the drill will be highly visible from I-5, just south of downtown Portland.

Members of the Portland Fire & Rescue Technical Rescue Team will lead the exercise, where tram employees will appear to be rescued, with ropes, pullies and the skills of firefighters. To make it more challenging, Fire & Rescue will conduct the exercise at the tram tower located next to Interstate 5.

Usually, this drill is performed 100 feet above a parking garage near the Casey Eye Institute. This year, they'll be practicing evacuating people 170 feet above the U.S. Congresswoman Darlene Hooley Pedestrian Bridge at Gibbs Street, next to six lanes of highway traffic. This is the second time the drill will be held by the pedestrian bridge.

The training allows crews to practice an aerial rescue in the event the tram is stopped for an extended period of time with passengers on board. Firefighters will be assisted by representatives from both PBOT, which owns the tram, and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) , which operates the tram in conjunction with Doppelmayr USA.

The Portland Aerial Tram is closed on Sundays. As a result, the training exercise will not interfere with regular operations.

Today, we're saying farewell to our friends and neighbors at Flavours of India as they close for personal reasons. Flavours of India FlavoursOfIndiaSandy.us Francis, Sandra, and their chefs have been cooking up delicious, authentic Indian cuisine and building community for six years at Rockwood Market Hall, hosting fundraisers and community events along the way.

Business owners like Francis and Sandra make a major difference in East Multnomah County and Gresham, supporting their staff with fair wages and providing healthy, fresh meals to their customers at a reasonable price—all while contributing resources to local programs and service providers.
