On the evening of Saturday, February 26, 2022, Jacob T. Dreyer, a 38-year-old man from Vancouver, was found dead in the driver’s seat of a car in a parking garage in Portland’s Lloyd District. Portland Police were dispatched to the 1000 block of Northeast 2nd Avenue at 7:12 p.m. after a report of a shooting; the cause of death was an apparent gunshot wound.

Detectives learned Dreyer had arranged to meet someone for a drug transaction. A witness who had been in the backseat said the suspect shot Dreyer, searched his pockets and fled. Investigators identified a person of interest and, on March 7, 2022, Lona-Akoni Hudson, then 28, was taken into custody and booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center. A grand jury later returned an indictment charging Murder in the First Degree with a Firearm, Robbery in the First Degree and Unlawful Use of a Weapon with a Firearm.

If anyone was in the area that night or has information about the meeting that led to the shooting, please share what is known.
