On May 6, 2022, a gunfight broke out in a Northeast Portland area, leading to charges against multiple people. According to the official records, Lehi was pulled over for several traffic violations near the intersection of NE 78th Avenue and Mason Street. He lied to the cops and refused to provide his identification.
While being ordered to place his hands over his head, he drew a weapon and fired at one of the cops, “briefly chopping off his head.”
The District Attorney’s office in Multnomah County stated, “Leahey then got out of the car and attempted to shoot police but was unsuccessful, while simultaneously raising his gun to fire at a second officer before being shot.” Leahy was shot in self-defense and critically injured; no officers were hurt.
