What happened and why it matters

This update summarizes the reported event and explains the practical legal context Oregon readers may want to understand. It is general information, not case-specific legal advice.

Portland police say officers arrested a man wanted in a homicide case after a several-hour search in Southeast Portland’s Richmond neighborhood. According to the Portland Police Bureau, the arrest happened on February 27, 2026, after officers responded to a report of an assault in progress near the 3800 block of Southeast Ivon Street.

Police said dispatchers narrowed the location after the original 911 call came in without an exact address. Officers forced entry into a home after developing information that someone inside might be in immediate danger. A suspect fled by jumping from a second-story window, and officers set a perimeter around the area while searching yards and driveways.

The bureau said the search lasted several hours and ended when officers found the suspect hiding in a trailer in a driveway inside the perimeter. He was arrested at 6:39 a.m. Police identified him as Aquize G. Logan, 25, of Portland, and said he had been sought for months in the killing of 14-year-old Marik Roscoe in November 2025. The bureau said Logan was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on active warrants for murder, attempted murder, burglary, assault, firearm and weapon charges, and menacing.

In an updated release published later, PPB said Logan now faces additional felony charges from the February assault, including attempted murder and rape, after detectives investigated the case and a grand jury returned an indictment. Police said the victim reported hiding in a closet during the assault, and officers later provided immediate medical care after she ran from the house.
