Michael Angelo Hernandez Jr., 22, was fatally shot in Portland, Oregon in the early hours of August 6, 1999. Witnesses placed him at about 4 a.m. arguing with at least one African-American male at the intersection of NE Mallory and Failing Street; the argument drew multiple onlookers and was followed shortly by gunfire. Hernandez was found deceased at the scene.

Witnesses described two African-American males leaving the area after the shooting. One was reported as in his early 20s, about 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall with light brown skin. The other was slightly taller, more stocky, with dark skin and a shaved head. Hernandez had a history of involvement in drug and gang activity, and investigators have considered that the argument may have been over drugs or a woman, though the motive remains unclear.

No arrests have been made and the Portland Police Cold Case Homicide Unit continues to seek information. If anyone knew Michael or remembers the men seen near NE Mallory and Failing Street that morning, please share what you know.
