PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Authorities say the half-brother of Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard was shot Friday during a confrontation with two men in a mall parking lot.
The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office says 20-year-old Jahrell Lillard received first aid at a store inside the mall before he was taken to a hospital. The severity of his injuries was unknown.
Sgt. Nate Thompson says callers reported hearing five to 10 shots Thursday night and seeing two men run from the Clackamas Town Center parking lot. He says multiple rounds hit Lillard and several vehicles were damaged.
Though details of the case are still developing, Thompson says investigators believe Lillard may have been the victim of a targeted attack. No arrests have been made.
The shooting happened the same day Damian Lillard announced that his girlfriend gave birth to their first child.
