On the afternoon of July 25, 1993, 46-year-old Thang Thi Nguyen was shot outside her video rental store at 1403 SE Belmont in Portland. Neighbors knew Nguyen, called Lilly by some, as a friendly, non-confrontational presence in the block. Around 12:34 p.m., a neighbor found her on the sidewalk in front of the shop, seriously wounded. She was taken to the hospital but died of gunshot wounds after telling bystanders they killed her.

Witnesses described two Asian males seen running from the area and two young Asian males observed by the store door earlier that day. A white midsize vehicle was also reported as possibly connected. Investigators believe more than one person was involved and note Nguyen’s purse may have been taken, but a motive has not been established and no arrests have been made.

Did anyone in the community remember unusual activity near SE Belmont that afternoon or have information about the two men or the white midsize vehicle?
