On the evening of November 3, 1995, Jesse Tacker, a 38-year-old African-American man, was found fatally shot in Woodlawn Park in Portland. Two women who had just gotten off a bus discovered his body around 10:00 p.m. near the 1300 block of NE Morgan Street after walking along a paved pathway. Witnesses in the area reported hearing gunshots at about 9:45 p.m., which are believed to be connected to the killing.

Tacker was living in a nearby halfway house at the time and was described as not being a violent person. He struggled with a crack cocaine addiction and reportedly sometimes stole to support that habit. The Portland Police Bureau continues to list the case as a cold investigation and no arrests have been announced; there is no information identifying any specific suspect or suspects.

Does anyone have information about that night in Woodlawn Park or remembered hearing gunshots around 9:45 p.m. on November 3, 1995?
