The Portland Police Bureau is continuing its search for the suspect who allegedly attacked a truck driver during a riot in the city as a security company that once deployed the man announced the attack and denied any current association with him.
There have been no publicly announced updates made on the manhunt for Marquise Love, which also bears the name “Keese Love.” Police said Tuesday that they have made several attempts to contact Love, for whom they have probable cause to arrest, and are now working to find him.

Demonstrators then pulled the driver out of the car, calling one caller. Another told police that an estimated nine to 10 people began “beating the man,” the caller explained.
