On the morning of September 1, 1987, a caretaker found the body of 29-year-old Maximino Pena-Segura in the courtyard of Beth Israel Temple on NW Flanders Street in Portland, Oregon. The discovery came just after 7:30 a.m.; an autopsy showed he died from an apparent stab wound and investigators estimate the time of death as sometime after 3:15 a.m. that day.

Pena-Segura was a citizen of Mexico and was reported to have been in the United States illegally. The case file notes suggestions he may have been involved in dealing drugs, but it remains unclear why he was in the temple courtyard in the pre-dawn hours. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been made in connection with his murder, and the case has gone cold.

Are there any witnesses or local recollections from that neighborhood in 1987 who might help fill in the gaps about Pena-Segura’s last hours?
