Skyler Stuckey was a 21-year-old White/Caucasian man from Albany, Oregon, who enjoyed cars, fishing and the outdoors. He was two months away from becoming a father and had been described by his mother, Misti, as someone who liked to help others and loved to drive. On the evening of New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2023, Stuckey gave two individuals a ride from Albany to Portland.

Shortly after 8 p.m. on Northeast Faloma Road in the East Columbia neighborhood, a shooting occurred. Officers found Stuckey behind the wheel of a crashed BMW with a fatal gunshot wound to his head; an 18-year-old man who had been with him was found in a nearby yard shot in the face and later treated and released. Investigators recovered multiple firearms and different types of spent shell casings inside and outside the vehicle, indicating gunfire had occurred within the car, and security footage showed a third man associated with the car fleeing on foot and running into the Columbia River.

The medical examiner ruled Stuckey’s death a homicide. Did anyone in the area see the car or the people involved that night, or have information about the man who ran toward the river?
