Chauntee Lamont Johnson, a 28-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in the parking lot of Suns Market at 8707 SE Division Street in Portland on the evening of July 22, 2005. Witnesses saw him speaking with two other Black men who were inside a blue, early 1990s Ford Escort LX. According to those witnesses, the conversation turned, Johnson began to back away with his hands raised, and the passenger fired a gun, fatally wounding him.

First responders found Johnson lying in the parking lot; he died of an apparent gunshot wound. The vehicle fled south on Southeast 87th Avenue from Division Street. Despite witnesses, the suspects have not been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. The case remains an unsolved homicide.

If anyone has information about the blue Ford Escort LX or the men seen that night, please share what you know with investigators.
