On the morning of December 31, 2003, newspaper carriers in North Portland heard multiple gunshots near North Missouri Avenue and North Mason Street. In an alley between North Missouri and North Michigan avenues they found 16-year-old Aaron Prasad-King, an African-American male, gravely wounded. He was taken to a hospital and died on January 2, 2004, two days after the shooting.

Witnesses described an unidentified person in dark clothing running east on North Shaver and crossing Michigan Avenue soon after the shots, but that lead did not produce an identification. No arrests or publicly named suspects have been announced, the motive remains unknown, and the investigation is now classified as a cold case. Authorities have continued to seek tips and have offered a cash reward for information that leads to an arrest.

Did anyone in the neighborhood around North Missouri, North Michigan or North Shaver in late 2003 see something that could help bring justice for Aaron Prasad-King?
