“PoniaX Kane Calles: Legacy Good Samaritan Guard’s Killer Identified as 33-Year-Old Portland Resident”

On July 22, 2023, a tragic incident unfolded in Portland, Oregon, resulting in the death of a security guard and the suspect who was later identified as PoniaX Kane Calles, a 33-year-old resident of Portland. Calles had legally changed his name from Reginald Kane Jackson in 2019, according to court documents.

The incident began when Calles opened fire inside the Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center, where security guard Bobby Smallwood was shot near the 5th floor birthing unit. Smallwood was initially treated at the hospital but unfortunately succumbed to his injuries. Calles then fled the scene, prompting a large-scale search by law enforcement.

Later in the day, Calles was spotted in a vehicle at NE 181st and Everett in Gresham. Portland police attempted to make a traffic stop, leading to a heavy police response from various agencies. The situation escalated, and three Portland police officers ultimately used their firearms. It is unclear at this time if there was an exchange of gunfire between Calles and the officers.

The motive behind Calles’ actions inside the hospital remains under investigation. Authorities are working diligently to uncover the reasons behind the shooting and the events leading up to it.

This tragic incident has left the community in shock and mourning the loss of Bobby Smallwood, a dedicated security guard who was simply doing his job. The Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center has expressed its deepest condolences to Smallwood’s family and friends.

As the investigation continues, more information is expected to emerge. The community is hoping for answers and seeking comfort during this difficult time..
