Andre Dupree Payton was 19 when he was fatally shot in downtown Portland, Oregon, in the early hours of September 26, 2010. Police arrived at about 2:00 a.m. at Northwest Couch Street and Northwest 2nd Avenue after reports of shots fired and found Payton in the street with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Oregon Health & Science University and died of his injuries.

Witnesses described a chaotic scene with between 100 and 200 people present and dozens of shots fired, leaving numerous evidence markers. Multiple African-American males in their 20s, wearing dark clothing, were reported as suspects, and as many as seven or more people may have been involved. A black sedan was seen fleeing the area at high speed.

Investigators treated the shooting as gang-related, though Payton’s family says he was not a gang member; people who knew him said he had been associating with the wrong crowd. No arrests have been announced and the case is listed with the Portland Police Bureau’s Cold Case Unit; a cash reward has been offered for tips. If anyone was in downtown Portland that night or has information about the people or the black sedan, please come forward.
