On the evening of October 19, 2000, 25-year-old Laraye Lewis was sitting with a friend on a bench outside Caritas Plaza at 2830 N. Williams Avenue in Portland when a gunman opened fire at about 7:20 p.m. Both men ducked for cover, but Lewis was struck and died at the scene. The shooter, described only as an African-American man in dark clothing and a black baseball cap, fled on foot and has not been identified.

Authorities note Lewis was reportedly involved in the use and sale of drugs, but no public confirmation exists about a motive. The case is a cold homicide; no arrests have been made and investigators are offering a cash reward for tips that could lead to an arrest.

Williams Avenue in October 2000 and remember seeing someone matching that description, or have other information about that night?
