Ruby Denise McLemore was 21 when she was shot and killed on the evening of January 15, 1989, in Portland, Oregon. Neighbors reported hearing what sounded like gunfire on Northeast Holman Street; a resident who went outside found Ruby lying in the street. She was alive but could not communicate, and by the time paramedics arrived she had stopped breathing. An autopsy later confirmed a single gunshot wound to the torso as the cause of death.

She was identified at the scene by identification and was wearing a black beret, a black leather jacket over a sweatshirt, white pants and leg warmers. About a month after the killing, an anonymous caller to Crime Stoppers said they had witnessed the shooting and asked about a reward, then never followed up with the lead investigator. No arrests have been made and no suspects have been publicly identified; the Portland Police Bureau Cold Case Homicide Unit is seeking information and a cash reward remains available for tips leading to an arrest.

Did anyone in the Portland area remember seeing or hearing anything on Northeast Holman Street that night or know someone who might have more information?
