Randy Alexander Williams, 28, was found unresponsive the morning of January 8, 2015, in the parking lot of the Candalaria Plaza Apartments in Southeast Portland. Officers transported him to a hospital, but he died of his injuries; the state medical examiner ruled his death a homicide. At the time police said he was believed to be transient, with a last known address in Gresham.

Detectives from the Portland Police Bureau took over the investigation. Authorities did not disclose the cause or means of death, and initially released no suspect information. On January 23, 2015, media reported an arrest in connection with the homicide, but the reports did not provide the suspect’s identity, charges, or further case details.

If anyone knew Randy, saw him in Southeast Portland in early January 2015, or has information about the events at Candalaria Plaza Apartments, please come forward.
