An ANTIFA activist died this weekend after he was run down by a motor vehicle outside of a popular far-left hangout in Portland, OR.

Sean D. Kealiher, 23, was struck by an SUV during a deadly confrontation outside of the Cider Riot bar, which is a centralized hub of sorts for the city’s violent left-wing extremists. The vehicle was reportedly hailed with gunfire after it hit Kealiher, and then crashed into a nearby building.

Kealiher ultimately died of blunt-force trauma after being driven to a hospital where he could not be resuscitated. No arrests have been made at the present time, according to Oregon Live, but law enforcement is investigating the deadly events. They should not anticipate any help from ANTIFA terrorists in the area, who have issued a gag order of sorts against cooperating with police and media outlets.

Rose City ANTIFA announced on their Twitter account that the death “was not related to fascist activity,” so it appears that ANTIFA may be covering for one of their own:

Portland antifa activist killed in hit and run outside Hard Lefty pub Cider Riot; his friends fired on the car. The driver ran.

Rose City Antifa has already declared the Hard Righties didn’t do it, which suggests they know who did. Another bar patron?https://t.co/mYKTXqvXzq pic.twitter.com/OcmPS40L2e

Daryl Perez was a witness who heard the violent display unfold from a nearby campsite. He came forward to talk to the press about his experience, which may put his safety in danger due to ANTIFA reprisal.

“He was lifeless,” Perez said of Kealiher. “It was difficult for them, they were…just trying to get him to get up. He’s heavy—he slipped out of their hands a couple times before they got him back to the car.”

Perez told KOIN 6 News that he heard what sounded like a car crash and then some loud yelling by different individuals. He heard at least four shots of gunfire and left his tent to see that an SUV had struck a tree and was immobile.

Addendum: the deceased’s family and fellow activists are telling people not to talk to the press. This antifa collective is telling people not to talk to cops. What the hell happened?

Right now it looks like Hard Lefties in Portland are covering for *at least* manslaughter. pic.twitter.com/cJdxnjbNbt
