On the evening of June 6, 2021, 23-year-old Eyion Willis was one of four men found shot to death inside a home in the Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood of Southeast Portland. Police arrived at about 10:25 p.m. and determined the scene was a quadruple homicide. The other victims were 31-year-old Mitchell Nacoste, 27-year-old Kendall Gragg, and 24-year-old Donavon Lenford.

Reports say Willis and Lenford had traveled to Portland from Texas and that the shooting erupted during an attempted robbery tied to a marijuana transaction at the house where Nacoste lived; Nacoste and Gragg were half-brothers. Authorities investigated for months and, in March 2022, a suspect was located and arrested in Frisco, Texas. The Denton County Sheriff’s Office arrested 27-year-old Jeremy Michael Lenoire; he was indicted on multiple charges, including two counts of second-degree murder, first-degree robbery, and first-degree burglary, and was held in Denton County Jail pending extradition to Oregon.

Does anyone have information about Eyion’s travel to Portland or about the people involved that night?
