Nick Henderson, 33, was found dead in a parking lot at the Lloyd Center in Portland on November 4, 2022, after officers responded to a welfare check. An autopsy by the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office determined he died of stab wounds and ruled the death a homicide. The Portland Police Homicide Unit handled the investigation while Henderson’s family, notified after his death, requested privacy.

Detectives continued the inquiry for more than a year. In late 2023 they identified a person of interest, Jeffery Joseph McNeill, 26, of Alaska, who was already in custody on unrelated charges in Clackamas County. Multnomah County obtained an arrest warrant and on December 1, 2023 McNeill was transferred and booked on charges of Murder in the Second Degree and Unlawful Use of a Weapon in connection with Henderson’s death.

If anyone saw Henderson in the Lloyd District on November 4, 2022, or has information about the events that led to his death, please come forward.
