Police on Friday identified the robbery suspect shot and killed by Beaverton officers earlier this week as 25-year-old Bryson Hays.
According to KATU, officers said Hays was armed with a gun when he robbed Nectar at 8705 S.W. Hall Blvd. on Sunday night. Minutes later, Beaverton police found the suspect. He was shot and died at the scene.
No one else was injured, police said.
Three Beaverton police officers were involved in the shooting. The department placed them on administrative leave, which police described as standard protocol in shooting investigations. Their names have not been released.
For families and witnesses, police shootings can leave a trail of questions about records, timelines, and what happened in the minutes before force was used. Those issues can matter in a later civil claim, especially when there is a death at the scene and multiple agency reports are involved.

“... I was referred to Adam who was able to take my case and quickly get it resolved for more than I expected. I was very pleasantly surprised by his attention to detail and tenacious negotiating tactics... Adam handled everything to make sure I received the maximum compensation for my injuries. If you need a good personal injury lawyer you just found one.”
