Phong Ngoc Truong, 20, was fatally shot on the evening of September 23, 1996, in Portland, Oregon. Officers found him dead on the sidewalk at about 9:35 p.m. outside the Viet Ha Restaurant at 5810 NE Sandy Boulevard from a single gunshot wound.

Witnesses described a possible suspect running from the scene: an Asian male about 18 to 25 years old, roughly 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall, 140 to 150 pounds, wearing a black baseball cap, a mid-length black coat over a white T-shirt, and dark knee-length shorts. He was last seen fleeing south on NE 58th Avenue. Witnesses also reported a mid-1980s Mercury Caprice leaving soon after the shooting, possibly with something dragging beneath it and a black horizontal stripe between the rear taillights. No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone who lived near NE Sandy Boulevard in 1996 remember seeing that car or the man running that night?
