On the night of June 7, 1997, Kenneth Bryan Shanafelt, 39, of Vancouver, Washington, was killed while walking with his wife in Waterfront Park in Portland after attending a performance of the musical Beauty and the Beast and visiting the Rose Festival. As they were returning to their car just before 11:30 p.m., a sound like firecrackers was heard and Kenneth collapsed from a gunshot wound to the head. Two passersby attempted CPR, but he died at the scene.

Police determined the fatal bullet came from about five blocks away and was fired during a gang-related altercation involving at least ten young men. The shot was not aimed at Shanafelt. An 18-year-old from Tigard, Daniel DeJesus, was arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder in connection with the incident; another person was injured when a shattered bus shelter caused facial wounds. The death left a wife and four children grieving a sudden, random loss.

Did anyone who was at Waterfront Park that night notice activity or people who might help clarify what happened?
