Jason Childers, 27, was found fatally shot on the floor of the Plaid Pantry at 917 SW Gibbs Street in Portland, Oregon, early on March 17, 1997. He had been working the graveyard shift and was last seen alive between 3:45 and 4:00 a.m. when a customer bought cigarettes. A later customer discovered him around 4:20 a.m.

Investigators determined he was shot multiple times while restocking shelves. No cash was missing and his wallet remained on him, a detail that moved the case away from an apparent robbery. Multiple leads were scarce; accounts over time suggested several assailants, with at least one described as wearing a red football jersey, but those descriptions never produced an identification. No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone remembers activity near SW Gibbs Street or saw people in the area that night, did anything about the scene or the people involved stand out to you?
