Henry Jay Johnson, 21, was found dead from a gunshot wound in Portland, Oregon, on the evening of March 2, 2000, after police answered reports of shots fired near Northeast Rodney Avenue and Northeast Failing Street at about 8:30 p.m. Witnesses said a possible suspect fled westbound toward Unthank Park: an African-American male in his twenties, about 5 feet 8 inches with a medium build, wearing a dark or blue puffy coat with the hood up, dark pants, and tennis shoes with red shoelaces.

The Portland Police Bureau investigated but no arrests were ever made; the case is now cold. The Cold Case Unit and Crime Stoppers of Oregon have periodically asked the public for tips and offered a cash reward for information that could lead to an arrest and bring answers to Johnson’s family.

Did anyone in the neighborhood at the time see that man with the puffy coat or have other information that could help solve Henry Johnson’s killing?
