Salem Police officers and detectives are investigating an Aug. 26 shooting in Wallace Marine Park.
At approximately 1:30 a.m., several callers reported gunfire at a homeless campsite within the park. Officers responded to a wooded area in the northern portion of the park and located a man with multiple gunshot wounds. Due to the rugged terrain, officers carried the man out to awaiting paramedics who rendered aid.
The victim was identified as Jacob Collazo, 60. Collazo was known to live in a campsite at Wallace Marine Park. Collazo was transported to Salem Health where he later died from his injuries.
The Salem Police Violent Crimes Unit is leading the investigation. Due to limited resources, the Oregon State Police Major Crimes Section is assisting with the homicide investigation.
