Year After He was Identified by Antifascists, Suspect in the Murder of Portland Anarchist Arrested
Portland police announced on Thursday that they arrested 47-year-old Christopher Knipe on second-degree murder charges, for the 2019 murder of a 23-year old anarchist, Sean “Armenio” Kealiher. Kealiher, a well known anarchist and antifascist in the Portland area, was murdered in a hit and run a few blocks away from Cider Riot, a local brewery known for hosting antifascist events and the center of a violent far-Right attack on May Day of that same year. Kealiher’s murder set off a wave of far-Right harassment against his family, which was documented in the podcast series, Dying for a Fight.
