On December 21, 2018, 18-year-old Ian R. Olson of St. Helens, Oregon, was found fatally shot in a Motel 6 room in Portland. The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a homicide. Law enforcement initially told the public they did not believe there was an ongoing danger to the community, and no suspect had been identified at that time.

Friends and family remembered Olson as a cancer survivor who had been in remission and described him as courageous and full of promise. In February 2019, a 15-year-old named Jeremiah Hannon was arrested and charged as an adult with Olson’s murder and robbery; Hannon was also reported as a suspect in a separate assault on a MAX train that occurred days after Olson’s death.

Did anyone who knew Ian or who was in southeast Portland that week see anything that could help complete the timeline of what happened?
