Eddie Morgan, a 46-year-old white man known around Northeast Portland as the Mayor of 42nd Avenue and The Weatherman, was killed in the early morning hours of May 29, 1994. Morgan, described as mildly mentally challenged from birth and a familiar, harmless presence who greeted neighbors and business owners, was standing by a bus bench at the corner of Northeast 42nd Avenue and Alberta Street around 4 a.m. when multiple gunshots were heard. A neighbor saw him clutch the bench and collapse; another neighbor attempted CPR but Morgan was already dead.

Investigators said there was no apparent motive and believe the shooting was a random act; a dark-colored vehicle with more than one occupant was seen leaving the area shortly after the shooting. No arrests have ever been made and the case remains unsolved. The neighborhood held a candlelight vigil attended by hundreds, including the mayor and police chief, and a plaque now marks the site where he was killed.

Did anyone in the area see or hear anything that night, or know someone who drove a dark-colored car from that corner around 4 a.m.?
