Bruce Winfield Binford, 33, was found shot on the steps of a building in downtown Portland on October 6, 1982. A passerby discovered him around 12:30 a.m. near SW Salmon Street and 3rd Avenue, close to the US National Bank and Armed Services Recruiting offices. He had been shot in the head, was taken to a hospital, and died two days later from his injuries.

Binford, unemployed at the time, had been out drinking that evening and was last seen leaving Mr. D’s Bar about 10:00 p.m. Investigators suspected robbery as a possible motive because his wallet and briefcase were missing from the scene. No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved; the Cold Case Homicide Unit continues to seek information and rewards are available for tips leading to an arrest.

Did anyone who was in downtown Portland that night or who knew Bruce notice anything that might help bring clarity to what happened?
