Cedrell Washington, a 32-year-old Black man, was killed in a reported shooting on March 3, 2025, in Portland’s Boise neighborhood. Police were called at about 11:28 p.m. to the 3400 block of North Williams Avenue and found Washington deceased at the scene. The Multnomah County Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide from a gunshot wound.

Portland Police Bureau Homicide detectives took over the investigation and closed North Williams Avenue between North Cook Street and North Fremont Street while they worked. Washington’s family released a photo and asked for privacy. No arrests had been reported in the initial notifications, and detectives asked anyone with information to contact them and reference case number 25-056354. Investigators said this was one of two fatal shootings in North Portland that night but that they did not believe the incidents were connected.

Did anyone in the Boise neighborhood see or hear anything that night that could help detectives?
