Portland Police
Portland police have identified the white man suspected of brutally beating a Black food truck owner while allegedly yelling slurs.
On Thursday, the Portland Police Bureau issued a press release requesting public assistance to find a man identified as Daniel Thomas Warren. An officer investigating the case spoke to witnesses and was able to get video evidence of the attack, but police said efforts to locate and arrest Warren have been unsuccessful.
While working at LoRell’s Chicken Shack on June 15, Darell Preston was attacked by a man he didn’t know, according to his attorney Alicia LeDuc Montgomery. Montgomery claimed the attacker screamed the N-word during the assault, and video footage she provided to The Daily Beast showed the suspect walking away after stomping and beating Preston as if nothing happened. Montgomery said Preston suffered “severe facial injuries” and his wife drove him to the hospital after first responders failed to provide any medical assistance.
