Portland’s ‘MAGA martyr’ Jay Bishop ‘hunted down and executed’ by ‘Antifa gunman’ for being Trump supporter, pal says
PORTLAND'S so-called MAGA martyr was "hunted down and executed" for his political beliefs, claims a close friend.
Aaron 'Jay' Danielson - known as Jay Bishop - was shot dead on Saturday night during clashes between supporters and BLM protesters.
Chandler Pappas was with the 39 year old when he was killed after his attackers apparently said "we got a couple of them right here."
The shooter then opened fire and ran off, he revealed..
Pappas told : "They recognized our Patriot Prayer hats. They executed my partner. They hunted him down."
However, no one has yet been arrested over the killing.
Pappas said: "Jay is dead because he believed something different from them. He did not do anything to earn a bullet in the chest."
The shooting took place around 8:45pm near the corner of Southwest 3rd Avenue and Alder Street.
He said he did not see the gun being fired because mace was sprayed at the same time.
The victim turned, "took a few steps, then fell face down," said Dunlap, 44, adding that the two people facing him ran from the scene
on Twitter in a retweet of a tribute post to him shared by Women for Trump co-founder Amy Kremer.
"Rest In Peace Jay!" Trump captioned the retweet.
The Oregonian named Reinoehl, a self-described anti-fascist, as a suspect in the shooting.
He has shared photos and video of demonstrations he participated in on social media.
Along with his posts, the alleged shooter wrote: "#blacklivesmatter, #a newnation and #."
Earlier this year, Reinoehl reportedly wrote to Facebook: "I am 100% ANTIFA all the way!
"I am willing to fight for my brothers and sisters!"
Footage of a burning "Trump 2020" flag was also shared to his page this summer.
