A 42-year-old man was shot in front of his NW Cedar Ave. home in Redmond on Monday morning.

The victim, who was not identified by Redmond Police, was transported to St. Charles Medical Center in Bend with life-threatening injuries.

According to Lt. Jesse Petersen, Redmond PD received a call about 7:33 a.m. about the shooting, which witnesses said had just occurred in the 1900 block of NW Cedar, directly across from Hugh Hartman Elementary. 

According to Petersen, a person in a black passenger car drove up to the victim’s home, stopped, then “shot multiple rounds” that hit the victim multiple times. The shooter then got back in the car and sped away.

As of Monday afternoon, no arrests had been made and the shooter remained at large.

Petersen said law enforcement believe the shooting was an “isolated incident and there is no risk to the community at this time.”

Officers cordoned off the area where the shooting occurred for much of the day Monday. The major incident team was activated to help investigate the case.

Petersen said that there were multiple witnesses to the shooting and police have interviewed them. He said other witnesses were being sought and police were checking with neighbors about possible surveillance video in the area as well. According to the Redmond police log, officers have responded to calls for assistance in the 1900 block of 19th Street multiple times in the last six months.

“I don’t want to give too many details at this time because I want people to have an independent recollection of whats gone on, so we can verify those facts through our investigation,” said Petersen.
