'Art Tarlow, a well-known Portland business and construction trial lawyer, was found dead Friday, fatally shot at his winter home in the Dominican Republic. He was 68. The founder of Tarlow Naito & Summers LLP was alone in the oceanfront home, according to his business partner Brent Summers. Police are treating the case as a homicide. Investigators said they found no sign of forced entry and have not said whether they have any suspects, Summers said. Tarlow, who also had a home in Southwest Portland, had telecommuted half of the year from the small town of Sosúa since buying the home in 2002...........In one of his more well-publicized cases, Tarlow represented Bill Naito's branch in one of Portland's most protracted family feuds. Tarlow helped the family reach a settlement after eight years of legal wranglings that split up the Naitos' company and gave his clients the bulk of the real estate assets.' Mr. Tarlow's distraught apartment staff in Playa Chiquita have confirmed to Dominican newspapers what a considerate employer he was. Puerto Plata Digital is reporting that two people have been detained. The story in English continues at the first link:
