The man killed Monday west of Battle Ground following a bank robbery in Vancouver died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The medical examiner’s office also determined Kenneth Allen Pointer’s manner of death was a homicide, which simply means someone else’s actions led to his death.
Police identified Pointer, 43, of Portland as the suspect in a Monday afternoon robbery at a US Bank branch in Vancouver, at 1607 Main St. Witnesses did not report seeing a weapon during the robbery, police said.
Vancouver Police Department officers, Clark County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Washington State Patrol troopers caught up with Pointer’s vehicle west of Battle Ground. A deputy stopped his vehicle at the intersection of Northeast 10th Avenue and 219th Street/state Highway 502 in the community of Duluth.
