Bystander footage of Monday’s fatal police shooting on Interstate 5 in Portland provides the first detailed look at the deadly encounter.

The brief video shows three officers walking with weapons drawn toward a white SUV that’s moving slowly on the interstate. One officer points a rifle at the vehicle while another raises a handgun.

Then 10 shots ring out, shattering the driver’s side window as the SUV slows to a halt.

The fatal freeway shooting was the culmination of a violent crime spree that began after the suspect, identified by police Wednesday as Brandon L. Keck, stole a car during an armed home invasion in Northeast Portland, according to police.

Keck, 30, soon ditched the vehicle and carjacked a driver at gunpoint in the Lloyd District, police said. He then began driving the wrong way onto Interstate 5 and attempted another carjacking, according to police.

Police initially said he shot another motorist in the process. But police reported Wednesday the motorist wasn’t injured by gunfire and that detectives were working to determine the cause of her injury.
