Thompson Tony Ly, 41, was shot and killed in Portland, Oregon in the early morning hours of May 15, 2005. The shooting happened around 1:19 a.m. near Southwest Yamhill Street between Southwest 2nd and Southwest 3rd Avenue; officers found Ly with a fatal gunshot wound at the scene.

Eyewitnesses reported a gold Honda Accord with spinner-type wheels leaving the area shortly after the shooting. The car was reportedly occupied by as many as five African-American males in their 20s. Witnesses said a back-seat passenger on the driver’s side fired six to seven shots out the window; that person was described as wearing black sweatpants, a red and white baseball hat, and white shoes. No arrests have been made and the case is an unsolved homicide handled by the Portland Police Bureau’s Cold Case Homicide Unit. A cash reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone has information about that night, the vehicle, or the people seen leaving the scene, please contact the investigators.
