On the afternoon of February 4, 2006, 24-year-old Robert Wardale Seeger was found fatally shot on a sidewalk at Northeast Failing Street and Garfield Avenue in Portland, Oregon. Police arrived about 5:34 p.m. after reports of gunfire; investigators believe Seeger was most likely the victim of a robbery.

Witnesses reported seeing a group of five to six African-American men in their 20s running from the scene. They were described as wearing hooded coats with hoods up, and some may have had faces obscured by bandannas. The men were seen running north on Northeast Rodney Street, then getting into a silver minivan and leaving northbound.

Detectives at one point said they were close to a breakthrough and thought the killing may have been drug-related, but no arrests have been announced and the men’s identities remain unknown. Anyone with information about the shooting or the silver minivan is asked to come forward.
