On the night of July 5, 2024, gunfire broke out near Northwest 3rd Avenue and Northwest Everett Street in Portland’s Old Town. Officers from the Entertainment Detail heard the shots around 11:48 p.m. and found 35-year-old Jose L. Galindo-Maldonado wounded at the scene. He was treated by EMS and taken to a nearby hospital, where he died of a gunshot wound; the medical examiner ruled his death a homicide.

The Portland Police Homicide Unit opened an investigation. Galindo-Maldonado’s family provided a photograph for publicity as they asked for privacy while grieving. Detectives say the suspect or suspects fled the scene and no arrests were made in the months that followed. In March of the following year investigators released a photograph of a man they believe is connected to the shooting and asked the public for help identifying him.

Anyone who was in Old Town on the night of July 5 or who recognizes the man in the released photo is asked to contact the Portland Police Homicide Unit with information.
