Police say Bell is the stepbrother of Darius Perry, an 18-year-old fatally shot in Gresham New Year's Eve in a shooting that stemmed from gang rivalries that erupted after a 31-year-old man was shot inside a North Portland church on Dec. 12.
The shooting occurred at 2:21 p.m. in the 9200 block of Southeast Holgate Boulevard. Witnesses told police they saw a man on foot shoot at a passing car. The Portland Police Bureau's Special Emergency Reaction Team and Hostage Negotation Team were called out later in the night, and surrounded a home about a block away on Southeast Pardee Street, where Bell surrendered to police by 7:30 p.m. Bell also was charged with a parole violation. He has a 2006 second-degree assault conviction. Bell is being held on a total $755,000 bail, and will be arraigned in Multnomah County Circuit Court this afternoon.Shots were fired later Wednesday night at North Killingsworth Street and Albina, but when police arrived they didn't find any victim or suspect. The two shootings remain under investigation.
