Jermaine Davis was 24 when he was shot and killed in downtown Portland on January 1, 2007. The shooting occurred around 2 a.m. at the corner of SW 4th Avenue and Stark Street after a dark-colored vehicle, described as possibly an Acura or Mercedes, drove past a group on the sidewalk and a passenger began shouting. Davis and two companions approached the car and struck through a window during the confrontation. A shot was fired from inside the vehicle, and Davis fled a short distance before collapsing and dying near the City Sports Bar.

Witnesses described the shooter as a white or Hispanic male with a mustache, goatee, and dark hair. No suspects have been arrested and the case remains unsolved; the Portland Police Cold Case Unit is seeking information and a reward is being offered for tips leading to an arrest. Davis’s death was the first homicide in Portland in 2007.

If anyone has information about that night or recognizes the vehicle or the description of the shooter, please share what is known with the investigators.
