One witness told ABC Portland affiliate KATU that he was in his car when a man with a bloodied hand knocked on his door and jumped in.

"He looked like a normal person. But after I saw his bloody hand I knew something wasn’t right and I was like, yeah, I’m not taking him anywhere," the witness said. "And he gets out ... takes off."

The woman who was killed was at a Wells Fargo bank at the shopping center.
