Ivan Castineira de la was 22 when he was found murdered inside an apartment on SE Division Street in Portland, Oregon, on June 9, 1997. Neighbors reported hearing multiple gunshots around 12:30 a.m., and a resident discovered his body in one of the units. Reports say Castineira had been involved in drug activity at the location, a circumstance investigators say may have been connected to the violence.

Witnesses described three Hispanic males fleeing the scene, one of whom appeared to limp, but no arrests have been made. The Portland Police Cold Case Unit and Crime Stoppers of Oregon continue to seek information and have offered a reward and an anonymous tip line for anyone with details. Few clear leads have developed, and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Ivan, saw activity at that apartment complex that night, or has information about the three men described, please contact the tip line.
