According to The Oregonian newspaper, Reinoehl is suspect in the shooting killing Aaron Danielson, 39, one of the Trump supporters who took part in a car parade in Portland on Saturday to show their support for the president. This led to fights with activists against police violence, who have been demonstrating in American cities for months.
Portland police have not yet responded to Reinoehl’s allegations in the interview.
Reinoehl, a self-proclaimed anti-fascist, is active in Black Lives Matter demonstrations against racism and police brutality in Portland, according to reports and videos on his social media accounts that the Reuters news agency saw. He says in posts on Facebook and Instagram that he is a professional snowboarder and a veteran of the US military.
“I am 100 percent Antifa,” he said in a message on June 16. “We really have the chance to fix everything now. But it will be a fight like no other! It will be a war and like all wars there will be casualties.”
