On the evening of August 28, 1993, a party on the 500 block of NE 80th Avenue in Portland, Oregon, ended in violence when a red 1979 Chevrolet van with a yellow stripe pulled up and a passenger opened fire into a group of people gathered outside. Nineteen-year-old Tien Hoang Truong, a Vietnamese male from Seattle attending the gathering, was struck and died at the scene.

Witnesses described the shooter as a Vietnamese man about 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing roughly 140 pounds, with black hair. Truong was reported to have associations with a Vietnamese gang in Seattle that had links to a similar group in Portland. Despite these descriptions and the vehicle detail, no suspect has been publicly identified or arrested and the homicide remains unsolved.

If anyone was at that gathering or remembers the red van or the man witnesses described, please share what was seen or heard.
