What happened to Quanice Derrick Hayes?

 

A 17-year-old boy with a fake gun was fatally shot by police in 2017 during an investigation of a suspected armed robbery Thursday, a police spokesman said Friday. Quanice Derrick Hayes was suspected of robbing a man near a Northeast Portland motel, police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson said. Hayes allegedly approached a man sitting in his car outside the Portland Value Inn, 1707 N.E. 82nd Ave., on Thursday morning, Simpson said. A motel employee said Hayes took the man's Oregon food benefits card. Shortly after, police responded to a report of a car prowl at the Banfield Pet Hospital, Simpson said. They encountered Hayes, who fled, Simpson said. They encountered him a third time and Officer Andrew Hearst shot and killed Hayes, Simpson said. No one else was injured. Police haven't released details of what prompted Hearst to shoot. Police are investigating the shooting of Hayes, Simpson said. When the investigation is complete the case will go to the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office and presented to a grand jury, which is a standard procedure, Simpson said. The case will also be presented to the Police Review Board.
