On the morning of August 21, 2005, Jeffery William Smith, 41, was fatally assaulted at the intersection of Southwest Park Avenue and Southwest Stark Street in Portland, Oregon. Smith had stopped to talk with some people when another man crossed the street, approached him, and without apparent provocation punched him in the face. The single blow knocked Smith to the ground. He was conscious and sitting on the curb, bleeding, when officers arrived at 3:56 a.m. and he was taken to a local hospital. Smith later died from the injuries sustained in that unexpected attack.

Witnesses described the suspect as a white male, about 24 to 30 years old, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall with a muscular build. No arrests have been made and the case is considered cold. Anyone who was in that area the night of August 21, 2005, or who recognizes the suspect description is asked to come forward with information.?
