Lee A. Mauras, 22, was fatally shot in downtown Portland on October 6, 2024, at about 2:41 a.m. Officers on patrol in the Entertainment District responded to gunfire near West Burnside Street and Southwest 3rd Avenue and found Mauras deceased in a parking lot. The Multnomah County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound and classified it a homicide.

Mauras had recently moved from New York, was a father to a son who was approaching his second birthday, and had committed to wrestle for Clackamas Community College. Family and his coach described him as a dedicated athlete and loving parent. No arrests have been reported; the suspect or suspects fled before police arrived and the Portland Police Bureau Homicide Unit is investigating under case number 24-255846. Detectives Shaye Samora and Mike Schmerber are listed as contacts for tips.

Were any readers in that area the night of October 6 who might have seen something that could help investigators?
