Sven Rodriguez Gomez, 32, was found dead in his Northwest Davis Street apartment in Portland after a building manager reported a foul odor on March 25, 1999. Responding officers discovered his partially decomposed body; an autopsy determined the cause of death as asphyxiation and the death was ruled a homicide.

Detectives called to the scene treated the case as a violent killing, but the investigation yielded no arrests or publicly identified suspects. The trail eventually went cold and the case remains unsolved.
