In the pre-dawn hours of October 13, 1999, shots rang out in a North Portland neighborhood on the 6200 block of N. Kerby Avenue. Responding officers found a white Mazda 323 parked at the curb; the passenger door was open and the driver’s side window shattered. In the driver’s seat, secured by shoulder and lap belt, lay 28-year-old Terrence Andre Norris, an African-American man dressed in a red hat, dark blue coat, light blue sweatpants, and tennis shoes.

An autopsy found Norris died of multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators concluded the shots most likely were fired from the passenger seat area, indicating the shooter had been inside the vehicle with him. Despite evidence collected at the scene and requests for witnesses, no arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified, leaving the killing unsolved.

If anyone saw activity on N. Kerby Avenue in the early morning of October 13, 1999, or has information about this shooting, please come forward.
