On the morning of May 19, 1980, a young girl walking along the 100 block of NE Sacramento Street in Portland discovered the body of 42-year-old Narciso Fierro in the weeds of a vacant lot. Police who responded found Fierro deceased; an autopsy showed he had died from apparent stab wounds.

At the time he was living rough and known as a heavy drinker, a familiar face in Old Town and the lower east Burnside Street bars. He was also wanted for auto theft when he was killed. The last reported sighting was about 8:00 p.m. the night before his body was found, near the lower east Burnside area.

The murder remains unsolved and is now a cold case with no publicly identified suspects or arrests. If anyone knew Narciso Fierro, saw him on the night of May 18–19, 1980, or has information that might help, please come forward.
