Morris Ramone Rivers was 48 and had moved from the Sacramento area to Portland in winter 2003 with a girlfriend, reportedly trying to leave a past that included crack cocaine use. Just weeks after arriving, he was shot and killed on the evening of January 27, 2003, while sitting in his car in front of 3512 NE Grand Ave following a heated argument believed to have been over money or drugs.

Witnesses described the shooter as an unidentified African-American man, thought to be in his twenties, with a stocky build and short hair. The suspect fled immediately and has not been identified. No arrests have been made and the investigation is considered cold; authorities have offered a cash reward for tips leading to an arrest.

Does anyone have information about that argument or about a young African-American man matching that description seen near NE Grand Ave in late January 2003?
