Kimberly Rae Kim Lambright, 53, was found fatally shot in a wooded encampment in Southwest Portland on March 28, 2021. Portland Police officers discovered her body at about 8:32 a.m. after responding to a report of a shooting near Southwest Barbur Boulevard and Southwest Capitol Highway. An autopsy confirmed a gunshot wound as the cause of death and the death was ruled a homicide.

Lambright had been living in a camp in that same wooded area for more than a year. Investigators noted a related violent incident at the encampment earlier that month: on March 7, 2021, Lambright’s boyfriend was shot in the abdomen and leg, and she guided officers to their tent. Lambright had also told detectives about roughly ten other nearby campsites and a confrontation in late January.

Police have appealed to the public for information and provided detectives’ contact details, but no arrests or suspect identifications have been announced. Does anyone who knew Kim or spent time in the Barbur Boulevard capitol highway encampments have information that could help investigators?
