Deputies search for suspect after two women shot in Happy Valley
»Play Video
HAPPY VALLEY, Ore. – A manhunt is underway for 33-year-old man suspected of shooting two women Sunday night in their Happy Valley home, killing one of them.
Norma Jean Perrone, 62, died from her injuries, according to Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Adam Phillips.
Her daughter, Gina Marie Perrone, 29, was hit several times and is still being treated at an area hospital.
Her 1-year-old child has been put into protective custody. KATU News has learned that the suspect is the child's father.
Deputies said the young boy was home during the shooting, although he wasn’t harmed.
That suspect, Jason Duane Hogan Jr., is considered armed and dangerous, investigators said.
The whole family lived in Norma’s home where the shooting happened. Gina managed to call 9-1-1 herself pleading for help after she had been shot, investigators said.
Norma worked in human relations at a large Portland law firm. She had worked there for nearly 20 years.
Her co-workers at Davis Wright Tremaine said she loved to ride her Harley Davidson motorcycle and was looking forward to retirement so she could spend more time with her grandson.
Hogan has an extensive criminal record; still, Norma didn’t give up hope he could turn his life around.
“She was a person who saw the best in people and wanted the best,” said Carol Bernick, a partner at the law firm. “I think she was realistic, but hopeful and positive and she loved her grandson so much and she believed that the dad would love that child and put the child above everything else.”
Phillips said Hogan has an extensive criminal history and they stressed that he should be considered armed and dangerous and is not afraid to use violence to escape.
Deputies said that Hogan lived with the Perrones on SE Hobart Court and that they have responded to their home on several occasions for domestic disturbance calls.
Neighbors said they heard six gunshots on Sunday evening. Nobody we talked to said they heard fighting or a struggle.
On Monday afternoon deputies got a tip that Hogan might be at an apartment complex off Sunnyside Road. They responded with rifles but did not find anything.
Late Monday night someone reported seeing Hogan at the Beaverton Transit Center, leading police to rush to the scene.
Authorities fanned out across the area, including at 185th and TV Highway. Police stopped at other places, including a nearby apartment complex, but there was no sign of him. Deputies with the Washington County Sheriff's Office also stopped several buses as part of their search.
Investigators said Hogan stole a car, a 2006 Hyundai Alantra with an Oregon license plate reading 161DMY from near NE 148th Place and Graham Street in Northeast Portland. The hood of the car is damaged.
He could also be driving a 2002 silver VW Golf with Oregon license plate 924DQG.
In 2007, then 28-year-old Hogan was arrested following a six-hour standoff with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
He was charged with burglary, unlawful use of a weapon, eluding police, resisting arrest, theft and other charges in that incident.
“He is not afraid of using violence as demonstrated here,” Phillips said.
Hogan also has been stopped ten times for driving a stolen car, accused on 16 occasions of driving with a suspended license and six times of driving drunk.
Deputies said that anyone who sees Hogan should not approach him and immediately contact police.

IF YOU PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THE FAMILY OR THE SITUATION PERSONALLY PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL AND KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO YOURSELF. Â THIS IS A TERRIBLE THING THAT HAPPENED TO WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND THE ONLY THING THAT CAN MAKE IT WORSE IS YOU AND YOUR COMMENTS... SHOW SOME RESPECT PLEASE!!!!
Every day now someone is being killed , but it doesn't really hit home until you read about some one you knew quite well , years ago I was the babysitter for Randy and Gina for seeral years and even my daughter would baby sit for them in the evenings, they were such a nice family and had beautiful children. With this kind of record why was this guy out free running around like a time bomb. My own grandaughter is in a bad relationship with a guy with a record, She won't leave him , they have a 7 mo. baby and he has witnessed his Dad abuse his Mom and he screams in fright but no one will do any thing about it. This story about Norma and Gina scares me een more, for my grandaughters sake
This guy should have been chained to a wall at the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem, not out walking around free.
 @Lost River How does a guy like this even get out?  For crying out loud.
What's the point in catching him? After seeing his rap sheet on the news it seems the justice system doesn't care enough to do the right thing. I mean the jackass has been arrested more than 10 times for stealing cars! We so NEED a 3 strikes law in Oregon. He wouldn't have been free to commit this crime if we had it.
I hope the cops just cap his ass when they find him. Sick of all these criminals.
 I did know Norma.  She was a wonderful woman, so sweet.  She was a person that you would fall in love with the first time you met her.  She rode with us.  She was not a wild crazy "biker" person.  She was an outstanding citizen and friend.  I will miss her terribly.
 @QOTU That's a great photo of her with her bike.  I'm sorry to read such a sad ending to her life.  Regrets to her friends and family.
I, too, am sorry for the loss of your friend, QOTU... As I said in my post, I wish I had known her; she looks like she would've been a very special friend... and a lot of fun to be with, as well..!
sorry for your loss..........
Does Hogan have family in the area, i.e., parents/sibs etc ? The standoff in 2007 should have been a tip off to ZMrs Perrone that things wouldn't be changing anytime soon.So sorry.Here's thinking of mom and son and that things get better for both.
These look like two nice women who live(d) in a nice area. How the he// did they get mixed up with such a loser? Parents, guide your daughters in their choice of boyfriends and husbands. The price for associating with the criminal class has severe consequences. This is a prime example.
The article says he was "Charged" for those previous crimes, but what about convictions for those offenses?
@August100
yet, another incomplete story.
With all the charges against him in 2007Â why was he not in jail ?.
The 161DMY on the stolen car's license plate really fits him.
@Leinenkugle's
More facts left out of this story like his prev charges and what transpired
I'm so sorry to learn that Ms Perrone passed away... I didn't know her, but just judging by that picture of her, I wish I had... My best wishes go to her daughter for a full recovery.
Went to school with Gina and her brother Randy. Too sweet a girl and family for something like this...
Uggg, when will people learn??? Several domestic violence calls...people don't change!!! I hope the daughter recovers and I hope she carries the burden of her mom's death with her the rest of her life. The shooter is ultimately responsible but the daughter kept him around and now her mother paid the ultimate price. I hope she learns and never stays with anyone who is violent again. It will never get better and sooner or later it will turn deadly.
@CRB
We got the point but Oh4FS was right..She will be feeling guilty, I am sure, for the rest of her life and searching herself and wondering why she couldn't let go of the realtionship with this person.There will be a lot of "what if's"...
@CRB
Unfortunately, it's easier said than done. When women get involved with the "bad boys", it's generally because they don't know any better and think that the treatment they receive is normal, from their own upbringing but in this case, that doesn't sound like the norm, i.e., mom working for a law firm, etc.It's also hard for these women to "let go" of these types as they are the "fathers" of their children.They also are hoping they will change, which never happens and then the violence escalates until such time as it's too late. Appears that it happened here. Too bad dau didn't get professional help to let go of this scum bag.When she recovers, hopefully she will. She will have a heavy burden to carry on her shoulders the rest of her life for her mom's untimely death.
@Mazda84 Yes, I understand the cycle all too well and I was reacting out of personal pain experienced by the loss of a close friend in a similar situation. My choice of words were poor. I truly hope that she heals and is able to use this experience to better her life and that of her child's as well as carry on her mother's memory and legacy. I hope she is able to share the sacrafice her mother made with her child and they together are able to honor her through it.
@CRB You hope she carries the burden of her mother's death for the rest of her life??? Wow...pretty callous thing to say....
@oh4FS Yes, you are right. I had an awful reaction to this sensless story. I fully understand she will blame herself for the rest of her life. What I meant and hope is that she uses it to better herself and her child's future. That she is able to heal from the pain and help carry on her mother's memory and legacy. I do apologize for my gut reaction and how I stated it.
@oh4FS
Yes, it could have been better stated without the guilt trip on top of the heartache she will be facing for years to come.
One 'domestic disturbance' is too many. Ladies, get the F out the first time.
@oh4FS
Oh, how many times I have heard that but there is something that keeps that type of relationship going and going till it's too late.Many won't leave because they think the partner will change. Many won't leave because of financial security.Others think they deserve to be treated that way,Yes, you heard me right.It's because they don't know any different from the way they were brought up and think that being someone's punching bag or being verbally abused is the norm.Oh, the stories I could tell you.
"The sheriff's office says he has an extensive criminal history and should be considered armed and dangerous."
Â
Let's see, the guy shot someone so that makes him armed and the act of shooting someone makes him dangerous. Yea, I would agree with the obvious assertion by the sheriffs office that he is armed and dangerous.
Â
End of obvious logic lesson for today.
Â
@RalphCramden
I think they are just trying to make sure everyone knows this.There are those that try and "do gooder" and think they can apprehend someone.
 @Mazda84 I am sure they have to state the obvious as you point out. Kind of like saying water is wet which most of us already know. But there are some out there that have questionable logic and reasoning skills.
That's why they have to say what they do..those with questionable logic and reasoning skill. Not every one is intelligent
Where is ralphcramden to remind us white people don't commit violent crime . . ?
 @seriously2 You live in a fantasy world. Post the link where I said that. Of course you can't do that because it never happened. Honesty is not one of your skill sets.
Â
I am flattered that you think about me day and night.
@RalphCramden @seriously2
think about you day & night ? you flatter yourself
 @RalphCramden Any number of your posts are laced with racist innuendo . . . one only has to read them as they are posted . . .and I'm not about to waste a second poring over and referencing your posting history to substantiate my opinion . . . one to which I am entitled based upon what Ive seen from you . . .Â
@DodgersGirl
you go girl............
 @seriously2  @DodgersGirl Give it a rest. She has the right to say what she wants to and they are only words.
Â
I happen to agree with her sentiments.
 @DodgersGirl  @seriously2  @RalphCramden Do you eat with that potty mouth too . . ?
 @RalphCramden Sometimes what a person leaves unsaid in certain circumstances contrasted with what the do say in other . . . yet similar circumstances is all one needs to see someones true colors . . .Â
Â
I know you don't see yourself as a racist and likely never will own up to it . . . but your posts easily lead one to that conclusion . . . even if winning a greased pig contest would be simpler than getting you to admit to it . . .
@seriously2 @RalphCramden You dislike Ralph's political views. We get it. Now please STFU.
 @seriously2 There are opinions and there are lies. It is pretty clear that you don't know the difference.
Â
You call my comments racist even when I post facts from the Department of Justice. So by extrapolation the DOJ must be racist because they are the ones that have the facts on their web site.
Â
I have always said, a racist is a person who is winning an argument with a liberal. Liberals revert to calling folks names when they can no longer keep up promoting their lies in the face of facts.
Â
I asked you for the facts where I said that white people don't commit violent crime and you can't even back that up.
Â
So you post and run. Typical of you.
There should be a "Shot On-Sight" order for this dirt bag!?!
I think they call that vigilante justice...
"he has an extensive criminal history and should be considered armed and dangerous". Yet he was running loose. Maybe he wasn't dangerous until just now?
 @Nobody Our wonderful legal system hard at work protecting us....
This on the heels of the white-supremacist army vet who took his rage out on innocent people. Hmmm, makes you kind of scratch your head.
We seem to see a spike in crime when it's hot and most of the country has been experiencing this for some time
Another example of acceptable "collateral damage" in defense of the 2nd amendment.Â
 @peckishpete Already by federal law, this felon is not allowed to have possession of a handgun.  I don't see what this incident has to do with the 2nd amendment.
@UtterReality @peckishpete
Who ever said felons don't carry firearms ? Many do, in violation of the law..Unfortunately a fact of life.It's called a "sat nite special"
 @peckishpete Yeah, those pesky freedoms are just so inconvenient! While we're at it, let's gag all protestors because all the noise gets on my nerves! (That's sarcasm for those keeping score at home.)
 @peckishpete What about blaming our legal system which should never have let a violent nutbag back out? Oh ya forgot you just don't like guns so you looking for any excuse to make them look like the problem.
 @peckishpete Oh ya because nutbags never hurt people with something other then a gun... Part of the reason you and the others have such a skewed perspective is the LSM which puts anything involving a gun front page and anything else on page 37. Try reading the FBI crime stats on line sometime if you want true reality not the media skewed version.
 @peckishpete And, I promise you I will use my Second Amendment right to help protect your First Amendment right.
@Nobody Didn't expect anything else and you have a right to do so. But just acknowledge that we as a society are willing to accept these types of actions (like the Sikh killings) so that we can continue to bear arms - i.e., collateral damage. That's all I ask.
True, we will have collateral damage from this day forward. Just like we have since the dawn of time. First it was fist, feet, rocks and sticks, then knives, bows and arrows on up to guns, missiles and nukes. This is going to happen no matter what. Those things are only tools, the human brain is the weapon!!!
 @peckishpete just as soon as YOU round up all the guns that the bad guys have and lock up everyone who will use a gun, knife or a baseball bat to kill the rest of us, THEN i shall lay down my arms.
@32jim2 Didn't ask you to lay down your arms just to acknowledge that guns in the hands of bad guys is acceptable collateral damage so that we can keep our right to bear arms. Why won't people just acknowledge this? It's collateral damage, pure and simple, just like we accept killing innocent women and children during war.Â
You're right, Rugrat; we can't bubble-wrap the world... but we CAN and SHOULD do a much better job of taking and KEEPING chronic and obviously dangerous criminals OFF the streets..! Â
Â
Just using your example of a motor vehicle in the hands of a drunk... how many stories do we hear/read in the news about a horrendous crash in which innocent people are maimed/killed by a drunk driver... and the information also comes out that said DUI driver has a history of 4, 6, 8 or more DUIs???  D/L revoked - no probem, they drive without it (and, of course, without insurance)... Car impounded; no problem, they borrow or steal one.Â
Â
Same thing with guns... We can have the strictest gun laws in the world, but even if you ban them all, the only people who won't have them anymore will be the law-abiding people... The criminals / mentally unstable will still be armed.Â
 @peckishpete  @32jim2 Just as dangerous as a motor vehicle in the hands of a drunk!! Life can be dangerous, you can not bubble wrap the world!!
@peckishpete comon you guys. Making guns illegal will be a new rule only those those who obey the law. The bandits will be un effected by changes in the law. I am in the "accountability" camp. Those who commit crimes should be punished to the extent that grave messages are sent.
 @peckishpete Ah yes, the firearms are to blame -- not individual's behavior.... /sarc.
Â
@ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsPhredE @peckishpete
guns don't kill people..people kill people
BUT in the wrong hands..............
