Jermaine Niron Davis, 24, was fatally shot in downtown Portland in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day, January 1, 2007. The shooting occurred around 2 a.m. near Southwest 4th Avenue and Stark Street after a dark-colored, four-door luxury-type car with tinted windows drove by a group on the sidewalk. A man in the rear passenger seat yelled at the group; when the car stopped at a red light, Jermaine and two others approached the open rear window and a physical altercation followed. A single gunshot was fired from inside the vehicle. The car fled eastbound on Stark Street; Jermaine ran south on the sidewalk and collapsed just north of the City Sports Bar, dying of his wound.

The primary suspect is described as a white or Hispanic male with a mustache, goatee, and dark brown hair. Despite the public location and a police cash reward having been offered, investigators report limited witness cooperation and no arrests have been announced. If anyone witnessed the confrontation or the vehicle that fled east on Stark Street, please share what was seen.
