On the evening of July 22, 2005, 28-year-old Chauntee Lamont Johnson was shot and killed in the parking lot of Suns Market at 8707 SE Division Street in Portland, Oregon. Witnesses say Johnson was speaking with two African-American men seated in a blue Ford Escort LX, likely an early 1990s model, when the passenger opened fire. Observers reported Johnson backing away with his hands raised before he was struck; officers later found him lying in the parking lot at about 7:52 p.m.

The two occupants of the vehicle fled south on SE 87th from Division Street and have not been publicly identified. No arrests have been announced and the case remains an unsolved homicide. If anyone witnessed the shooting or recognizes the described vehicle or those involved, please contact the Portland Police Bureau with any information that could help resolve Chauntee’s case.
