Citizen ‘sheriff’ who tried to screen #homeless campers stabbed to death

2 min read

Less than a year ago, KATU interviewed a man living on Southeast Clinton Street who was trying to stabilize the homeless camping situation in his neighborhood by screening people and letting those who "passed" set up camp. On Tuesday, we learned he was stabbed to death on his street.

That man is Kenny Housman, 73.

On Monday, July 15, Portland Police officers responded to the intersection of Southeast 136th Avenue and Clinton Street around 12:30 a.m. They found a man who had been stabbed. He was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he later died.
