Amara Marluke was fatally shot in what investigators believe was a domestic violence incident at about 1 a.m. near Southwest College Street and Sixth Avenue.
A 19-year-old Portland State University student was gunned down near the campus early Monday – and a former football player at the school has been charged in her murder, reports said.
Marluke was remembered as a loyal family member and friend who has been active since at least high school in advocating for racial and social justice issues, the newspaper reported. “Her dedication to her family and friends was unwavering and that she would fall victim to a senseless and violent death is unimaginable,” the father said.
