PORTLAND, Ore. — A 53-year-old man has been arrested more than four years after a fatal shooting in southeast Portland, police said Wednesday.
Isaac S. Harden Sr. was taken into custody on Wednesday, July 30, in the 1500 block of North Rosa Parks Way by the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force. The arrest is connected to the June 2021 homicide of 47-year-old Olance A. Upton, who was found dead of a gunshot wound in southeast Portland.
Harden was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges of Murder in the Second Degree, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
The Portland Police Bureau said no further information will be released at this time.
The original investigation began on June 25, 2021, when PPB homicide detectives, the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office, and the Medical Examiner’s Office responded to a suspicious death near Southeast Clatsop Street and Southeast 147th Avenue. An autopsy later confirmed Upton died from a gunshot wound and ruled his death a homicide.
The PPB thanked the U.S. Marshals and the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office for their assistance in the case.
