Krystal Lynne Pendergraph, a 39-year-old Black/African American woman, was found unresponsive in a parked car on Northwest Kearney Street between Northwest 22nd and 23rd Avenues in Portland’s Nob Hill neighborhood on the afternoon of October 11, 2025. First responders discovered she had sustained gunshot wounds and she was pronounced dead at the scene. The medical examiner ruled her death a homicide by gunshot.

Portland Police say they do not believe the killing was random and that evidence suggests a connection between Krystal and her assailant. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified. Detectives have asked residents and businesses in a wide area of Northwest Portland for surveillance footage from a narrow early-morning timeframe on October 11. Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest. Her family has requested privacy and released a photograph; the community held a candlelight vigil in her memory.

Did anyone in Nob Hill see or have footage from that early-morning timeframe on October 11 that could help investigators?
