Patrick Ralph Sanford, a 51-year-old White man and owner of Titan Towing, was shot and killed the morning of June 17, 2021, at an apartment complex at 2065 SE 44th Ave in Hillsboro, Oregon. Sanford was at the property with another operator to move vehicles from the complex parking lot to the street ahead of a scheduled resurfacing that residents had reportedly been notified about.

Shortly before 9 a.m., a dispute between Sanford and a resident escalated and the resident shot Sanford multiple times. Sanford died at the scene. Hillsboro police arrested 42-year-old Matthew Alexander McAdoo in connection with the killing; he was lodged at the Washington County Jail and charged with second-degree murder. The investigation remains ongoing.

If anyone saw the towing activity or the confrontation that morning, or has information about the incident, please share what was observed with investigators.
