Adrian Ramon Bible, a 29-year-old Black man, was fatally shot just after 1:19 a.m. on August 8, 2005, in downtown Portland on the 200 block of Southwest Washington Street. Witnesses reported gunfire rippling for blocks, with shots heard from Southwest Washington Street to 3rd Avenue and two vehicles fleeing in opposite directions that night—a white SUV westbound on Washington and a sedan eastbound.

Investigators later characterized the incident as connected to a gang dispute and retaliatory fire that turned a downtown corridor into crossfire. The case remains open; no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the cold case unit continues to seek information. If anyone has information about Adrian Ramon Bible’s death or that night in downtown Portland, please come forward.
