On the evening of June 27, 2024, a shooting at the TriMet MAX platform at North Interstate Avenue and North Prescott Street in North Portland left 39-year-old Sean K. Smeeden dead. Officers who responded about 8:30 p.m. found Smeeden on the platform; the medical examiner determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound and ruled it a homicide.

The Portland Police Bureau Homicide Unit led the investigation and initially released no suspect information. Detectives later identified 29-year-old Moyasar Osman Mohamed-Ahmed as the person sought in connection with the killing and released photos asking the public for help locating him. On the evening of July 1, 2024, Mohamed-Ahmed contacted a Clackamas County deputy, turned himself in, and was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on a charge of second-degree murder.

Detectives have not released information about a possible motive or whether Smeeden and Mohamed-Ahmed knew each other before the shooting. Does anyone have information about Smeeden’s routine at that TriMet station or witnessed the incident on June 27?
