Prosecutors say the additional charges stem from the February attack that led officers to his arrest in Southeast Portland.
PORTLAND, Ore. — A Portland man already jailed in the killing of a 14-year-old boy now faces a second wave of felony charges after prosecutors said the police search that ended with his arrest began with a woman’s whispered 911 call from inside a vacant house.
Aquize G. Logan, 25, was indicted on charges that include attempted murder, kidnapping, rape, sodomy, sexual abuse, assault, strangulation, unlawful use of a weapon and burglary, according to Portland police. The new case matters because it adds a separate, detailed accusation of violence to a prosecution that already centered on the November 2025 shooting death of Marik Roscoe, 14, and the wounding of three others.
The case against Logan widened after the events of Feb. 27, when officers were sent to the Richmond neighborhood before dawn to investigate what dispatchers first understood only as a possible assault in progress. Police said the call came in at 1:44 a.m. from a woman who whispered that she was hiding in a closet after being assaulted with a hammer and raped. She reportedly told dispatchers she was on the second floor of a vacant house but did not know the address. Officers, working with dispatch, narrowed the location to the 3800 block of Southeast Ivon Street. When they arrived, police said, they looked through a window and saw what appeared to be an assault happening inside. Officers forced emergency entry, and the suspect jumped from a second-floor window and ran. The woman then came out of the house and was given immediate medical care.
Investigators later identified the fleeing suspect as Logan, who was already wanted in the Nov. 16, 2025 homicide case. Police said detectives had been searching for him for months in connection with the shooting in the Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhood that killed Roscoe and injured three other males, ages 17, 19 and 42. In the February case, police said the woman told investigators Logan approached her earlier in the North Park Blocks, persuaded her to go with him, drove around with her and eventually took her to the vacant home in Southeast Portland. After breaking into the house, police said, he repeatedly raped, choked and kicked her and struck her in the head with a hammer. Officers recovered a handheld hammer at the scene. The woman was hospitalized with serious injuries, but police said they were not considered life-threatening. Authorities have not publicly said whether Logan knew the woman before that encounter.
The new allegations add to a case that was already among Portland’s more serious pending homicide prosecutions. Logan had originally been booked on charges tied to Roscoe’s death and the injuries to three other people after the November shooting near Southeast 125th Avenue and Southeast Division Street. Police said at the time that detectives did not believe the shooting was random. Roscoe’s death was later ruled a homicide by gunshot wound. Logan’s arrest in February came only after an hours-long search that placed part of the Richmond neighborhood under a shelter-in-place notice. Police said the search perimeter stretched from Southeast César E. Chávez Boulevard to Southeast 37th Avenue and from Southeast Division Street to Southeast Taggart Street. Gresham police assisted with a K-9 unit and drone team, while Portland police also used air support and a K-9 team to search yards and outbuildings.
Officers finally found Logan at 6:39 a.m., according to police, hiding in a trailer parked in a driveway within the search area. He was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on the active murder-related warrant, and investigators continued building the separate assault case. The Portland Police Bureau said the additional counts were filed after its Sex Crimes Unit investigated the February incident and the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office presented the case to a grand jury. The newly announced charges include attempted murder in the second degree, first-degree kidnapping, two counts each of first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy, four counts of first-degree sexual abuse, attempted first-degree assault, second-degree assault, felony strangulation, unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of first-degree burglary. Court proceedings in the new case were expected to move alongside the earlier homicide prosecution.
The sequence of events left two crime scenes joined by one arrest. In one, detectives were still pursuing a suspect in a teenage boy’s killing months after the shooting. In the other, patrol officers rushed to save a woman after a call that nearly ended before dispatchers could locate her. The Richmond neighborhood operation drew officers, drones, police dogs and public alerts before sunrise, and the case quickly became more than a manhunt. By the time the grand jury indictment was announced, investigators had framed the February allegations as their own major felony prosecution, not simply the episode that led officers to a fugitive already wanted in a murder case.
Logan remains accused in both matters, and the charges tied to the Feb. 27 attack now place him at the center of two separate violent felony cases. The next major milestone is further court action in Multnomah County as prosecutors pursue the newly indicted counts alongside the earlier murder case.
