Martin Gatewood, a 67-year-old white man, was found gravely injured inside his Portland apartment at 1969 NE Johnson Street on June 7, 1992, after a caretaker’s calls went unanswered and the assistant manager forced entry for a welfare check. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died shortly afterward; an autopsy ruled blunt force trauma the cause of death.

Gatewood used a wheelchair for most activities because of significant health problems. He had been seen at his residence around 1:30 p.m. the day he was killed. Detectives noted he socialized at nearby Couch Park and sometimes brought acquaintances back to his apartment, but investigators were unable to establish who entered the unit that afternoon or exactly how the assault occurred.

No arrests have been announced and no suspect has been publicly identified. Does anyone who knew Martin or saw activity around Couch Park or NE Johnson Street on June 7, 1992 have information that could help?
