Gresham, Ore –Police have identified both subjects responsible for a carjacking earlier this year and are seeking the public's help in locating one of them. Christopher Kirkendall, 25, is considered armed and dangerous and already has outstanding unrelated warrants. Police believe he is one of two men who attempted to take a vehicle by force on January 16 at the Montevideo Apartments, 1210 NE 181, Gresham. The second man is in custody.

In that incident, the victim had been warming up his vehicle, when two men demanded his vehicle and fought with the victim. The victim was able to rebuff the attack and the two suspects left in another vehicle, with the victim now following. While pausing for traffic at the driveway, one of the suspects got out of the vehicle and fired a gun toward the victim. The victim was not struck and the suspects fled.

Using surveillance video, police were able to identify the suspects, one of whom has already been arrested. Jarell Martis Lambert, 25, of Portland was arrested without incident on January 26 at 1:00 a.m. after officers spotted him in a vehicle. He was arrested at the 1300 block of NE 181 and lodged on the listed charges.

Police are now asking the public's help in locating Kirkendall. If he is spotted, police advise to call 9-1-1 immediately. Anyone with information about his possible whereabouts is asked to call Detective Matt Fagan 503.618.3127.
