Portland police recovered firearms believed to have been used in Wednesday night's fatal shooting in Northeast Portland that were hidden under a mattress and inside a closet in a baby's bedroom, according to court records.

Three men who were arrested in connection with the killing of Kenny Ray Henry, 29, were arraigned in Multnomah County Circuit Court Friday afternoon.

Xabian Robert Riley, 23, Tracey Christopher Lomax, 24, and Marcellus Allen, 21, each face one count of murder.

Gang enforcement officers said all three suspects are known to them.

Police were called at 11:38 p.m. Wednesday to a report of shots fired in a duplex at 14811 N.E. Fremont Court.

Two Portland police canine officers Jeff Elias and Robert Wullbrandt, who were about a half-mile away from the duplex doing training in a parking lot of an apartment complex on Northeast Sandy Boulevard, had heard the gunshots themselves, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in court Friday.

They helped track down the suspects, who ended up driving into that parking lot and running into an apartment.

Officers found Henry lying on the entry-way floor of the Fremont Court duplex, just inside the doorway of the home with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

His girlfriend told officers that before the shooting she had been upstairs in bed, and Henry was in the garage smoking.

Someone knocked on their front door, and she went to look who it was. She looked through the peep hole and found a man in his early 20s wearing some red clothing and a baseball hat. She alerted Henry, who first spoke to the man through a window and then went outside to talk to him.

His girlfriend was on her way back up the stairs to bed when she heard someone yell, "Kenny!'' the front door open and heard multiple gunshots, according to a probable cause affidavit. She called 911.

Police found three .380-caliber shell casings with a Winchester-brand stamp outside the front door of the residence. Forensic officers also located a fired .22-caliber copper-tipped bullet outside the front door.

Officers Elias and Wullbrandt spotted a Buick Regal drive with its headlights off into the parking lot of  the complex, at 15210 NE Sandy Blvd., where they were training.

The officers approached the car with their flashlights, and three men ran from the vehicle, the affidavit said.

Elias used his police dog to help track the men, leading them to an apartment.

The men are accused of trying to hide out in a friend's apartment, where a woman and her baby were inside. The woman ran out with her baby, unsure what the men were hiding from, the affidavit said..

A police search of the apartment turned up a .22-caliber revolver under a mattress in the baby's bedroom, a 9mm handgun and a .380-caliber handgun inside a closet in the baby's bedroom.

The stamp on each of the .380-caliber rounds were Winchester brand, the affidavit said. Three .22-caliber copper-tipped rounds were found in a toilet.
