Rodney A. Hupp, 62, of Vancouver, Washington, was shot to death in his home on May 3, 2025. The Clark County Medical Examiner determined Hupp died of gunshot wounds to his torso and right thigh after a 911 call around 4 a.m. prompted a Vancouver Police Department response; he was taken to a hospital and later succumbed to his injuries.

Investigators say the suspects may have been linked to recent car prowls in the neighborhood and likely obtained a garage door opener from a rental car left in Hupp’s driveway. Police believe people reported prowling vehicles on Northeast 15th Street before the shooting and think those individuals were probably involved, but they have indicated no known connection between Hupp and the suspects. No arrests have been announced and the investigation is ongoing.

Hupp’s family describe him as peaceful and loving; he is survived by a wife and seven adult children. Can anyone with information about suspicious activity near Southeast French Road and 19th Street in early May help investigators?
