Jeffrey Davenport was 25 when he was shot and killed in Portland on February 10, 1986. He had been walking with his brother and another associate near SE 72nd Avenue and Flavel Street, heading to a market to buy cigarettes, when the group encountered an unidentified man. An argument followed and the man produced a gun and shot Davenport; the shooter then fled. Davenport was taken to a nearby hospital but died shortly thereafter.

Witnesses described the shooter as a white male, late teens to mid-twenties, about 5 feet 7 inches, with light brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. Another white male, younger with frizzy reddish hair, was seen leaving on a red moped soon after the shooting. No arrests have been made and Portland’s Cold Case Unit continues to seek information; Crime Stoppers of Oregon has offered a reward.

Did anyone in the area at the time see the red moped or recognize the description of the two men?
