Two years after Tigard police shot and killed a 26-year-old man – and six months after the city settled a lawsuit with the man’s family for $3.8 million – an independent review of the shooting criticized the suburban police department’s investigation as “biased and unprofessional.”
In agreeing to the settlement, the city of Tigard denied any “liability or fault or wrongdoing” in the death of Jacob Macduff but agreed to cooperate with an outside review by the OIR Group, an independent police-oversight consultancy based in Southern California.
