Eddie Lathan, 22, was found shot to death face down near the curb at the northeast corner of Wilshire Park in Portland on the morning of February 14, 1986. A resident discovered the body at about 5:20 a.m.; an autopsy confirmed he had been shot, and investigators concluded he was killed elsewhere and his body dumped in the snow-covered residential area.

Lathan was last seen the previous night, February 13, about midnight near NE Grand and Alberta Street. Police records noted he was a street-level marijuana dealer, a fact investigators considered potentially relevant to the killing. Despite those leads, the case went cold: no suspects were publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

Does anyone remember seeing Eddie Lathan in northeast Portland that night or have information about his activities around NE Grand and Alberta?
