The below photos were taken on a Portland street. The same plant as back home was part of a landscaped patch of earth right along the sidewalk. Please help me name the plant. Thank you.

Back when
I'm going to need a little help from my Midwestern friends. The below weed grew around my grandparents' barnyard. We were warned at an early age to not eat of the fruit, which turns a very deep black-purple when ripe, lest we become aware of ourselves naked on a hospital gurney.

I'm familiar with it, but don't know the name.
TM - The plant isn't native to this area. Thanks for looking around.
I'll do a little myself.
In the far back of my mind I had a name that I ignored at the time. Verified: pokeweed.
