According to recordings of police radio,[3] and eyewitness video,[4][5] officers hid behind a tree 60 feet (18 m) from Delgado and called out to him.
Delgado was the 29th man killed by Portland police officers since the opening of a "pattern and practice" investigation by the United States Department of Justice in 2011.
[11] On the afternoon of April 23, the Delgado family was joined by over 200 community members for a peaceful memorial gathering at Lents Park.
[13] On April 27, Portland Police chief Chuck Lovell said the Bureau would cooperate with any review of the deadly shooting, including a special prosecutor appointed by the state's attorney general.
[15][16] On September 24, 2021, a Multnomah County grand jury announced it did not find enough evidence to charge DeLong with any crime in relation to shooting Delgado.
[20][21][22][23] In the transcript, members of Robert Delgado's family said they intend to commission their own investigation of the shooting and called Portland's mental health system dysfunctional.
