On the night of June 18, 2020, 23-year-old Evelin Navarro Barajas was killed in a mass shooting in a parking lot near Northeast Killingsworth Street and Cully Boulevard in Northeast Portland. She had been with friends and children after spending the afternoon at the river when a vehicle pulled up and at least one person exited and fired multiple shots into the crowd. Evelin was struck and pronounced dead at the scene; another man with the group suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Homicide detectives say they believe the attack was gang-motivated but have also reported no indication that Evelin or her friends had gang ties, suggesting she was an innocent bystander. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. Crime Stoppers of Oregon and the FBI have offered rewards to encourage tips in the unsolved case.

Evelin’s family remember her as generous and full of life. Does anyone have information about that night or recall seeing any vehicle or people near Killingsworth and Cully around 11:49 p.m. on June 18, 2020?
