The man under investigation in the fatal shooting of a Trump supporter in Portland has reportedly described himself online as “100% antifa.” Authorities had not charged anyone in the shooting at the time of this report.
According to The Oregonian, Michael Reinoehl, 48, is being investigated in the death of Aaron Danielson, who was part of a caravan of Trump supporters in downtown Portland on Saturday. A police source told the paper Danielson died in the street after being shot in the chest.
A relative contacted Portland detectives after recognizing him in screenshots posted online, The Oregonian reported. The relative asked not to be named after receiving threats.
Reinoehl regularly posts about protests on social media. In a June 16 Instagram post, he wrote that he was “100% antifa all the way” and described protesters as his brothers in arms. In the same post he also said he did not want violence.
Court records cited in the report show he was also wanted on a failure to appear warrant tied to a June traffic stop, and that he faced separate driving charges from another stop. Those cases are not connected to the shooting.
A response from Reinoehl was not included in the early reporting. Investigators had not announced a motive or released a final account of what happened.
