Michael Forest Reinoehl exited an apartment near Lacey, Wash., shortly before 7 p.m. on Sept. 3 carrying two bags and walked to a car parked nearby, according to a police update in the investigation, released Wednesday by Thurston County Sheriff’s Lt. Ray Brady. That same day, it was revealed that Reinoehl would be charged with second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Aaron...

A Rhode Island professor with a history of incendiary comments against conservatives is under fire this week for appearing to suggest that the fatal shooting of a Patriot Prayer supporter during unrest in Portland last month was morally justified. The comment from Erik Loomis, a history professor at the University of Rhode Island, came in response to a comment on his blog post: “Why Was Michael Reinoehl Killed?” The post questioned whether police deliberately “murdered” 48-year-old Michael Reinoehl, the man who fatally shot Aaron “Jay” Danielson on Aug. 29, the night Trump supporters clashed with backers of Black Lives Matter...

Newly released stills from cctv show Michael Forest Reinoehl, with his hand on his weapon, lying in wait for Aaron Jay Danielson. Not quite self-defense as Reinoehl claimed in his Vice interview. Don’t forget the person who said “we got one right here.” There’s a clip of Reinoehl on the phone and he says “alright, I’m coming” shortly before the shooting. The chick in the dress with the stripes was standing around with Reinoehl just prior to the shooting. They were all in on it.

Prosecutors have released new surveillance images from the murder of a far-right activist in Portland, after the prime suspect, a far-left Antifa supporter, was killed in a shootout with U.S. Marshals. Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt on Friday released the unsealed arrest warrant for Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48, who was killed by a fugitive task force in Washington state on Thursday night. The warrant charges Reinoehl with murder in the death of Aaron 'Jay' Danielson, 39, who was gunned down in the streets of downtown Portland on Saturday.

New video appears to show Michael Reinoehl hiding in an alcove as Danielson walks by, then pursuing him. That video, shot from a different angle and from a higher vantage point than Dunlap's street-level perspective, provides what appears to be a shot of Reinoehl lying in wait for Danielson and his friend, Chandler Pappas. Lead Det. Rico Beniga describes in the search warrant affidavit what the video shows: Shortly before 8:45, Reinoehl "turns into the garage entry and reaches toward his left front waist area," Beniga writes. "Reinoehl conceals himself, waits and watches as Danielson and Pappas continue walking by."...

This video is fascinating. Includes audio recordings of BLM leaders.

The Antifa supporter wanted for allegedly murdering a Trump supporter in Portland was armed with a handgun when he was shot dead by a US Marshals task force, authorities said Friday. Michael Forest Reinoehl had a semiautomatic handgun on him when officers moved to arrest him at an apartment complex in Tanglewilde in Washington State, Thurston County Sheriff’s Lt. Ray Brady told The Olympian. Brady would not confirm whether Reinoehl, 48, fired the weapon. But he said the firearm, which was recovered at the scene, was the only weapon he had.

The New York Times appeared to downplay Portland suspect Michael Forest Reinoehl's ties to Antifa in its report about his fatal altercation with police. The Times was the first outlet to break the news that Reinoehl, 48, was shot dead by police after he had been accused of murdering a pro-Trump counterprotester last week, something he seemed to have acknowledged during an interview with Vice News. "Michael Forest Reinoehl, an antifa supporter, died when law enforcement went to arrest him, four officials said. He was being investigated in the fatal shooting of a member of a far-right group," the Times...

On August 29, Aaron Danielson, a member of Patriot Prayer and a Trump-supporter, joined a caravan of Trump-supporters that headed into Portland. When Antifa- and Black Lives Matter–supporters violently attacked the caravan, Danielson and his friends were among those who tried to protect the caravan. A video showed rioters chasing and trapping the Patriot Prayer members. Then, out of nowhere, Michael Reinoehl shot Danielson, killing him. Even though he was identified, Reinoehl remained free, even going so far as to give a self-exculpatory interview to Vice News on Thursday night. And then, just a few hours later, the news broke...
