In the early morning hours of January 27, 1994, the sound of gunfire shattered a North Portland neighborhood. A resident on the 600 block of N Humboldt Street found 22-year-old Sven Jansson dead on the sidewalk at about 2:30 a.m.; Jansson had been fatally shot. He had recently been released from prison after serving time for bank robbery and was known to be involved with drugs.

Investigators established that shortly before the shooting Jansson had been seen talking to an unidentified man riding a bicycle. That man was described as an African-American male, about 20 to 25 years old, roughly 5 feet 8 inches tall, with medium-length jheri curls. Despite that person of interest, no arrests were ever made and the case remains unsolved with the Portland Police Bureau. A cash reward has been offered for information that leads to an arrest.

Does anyone have information about that night or remember seeing a young man on a bicycle in the 600 block of N Humboldt Street around 2:30 a.m. on January 27, 1994?
