Brian Todd Mitchell, 24, was shot dead near his black 1986 Ford Thunderbird on the evening of November 14, 1995, in the 4300 block of NE Hazelfern Place in Portland, Oregon. He had returned from renting videos and was found lying near his car with fatal gunshot wounds to the head and a leg. Family described him as a good kid, a superb athlete and musically gifted; he worked in the shipping department of The Oregonian and investigators say he was not involved in gang or criminal activity.

Witnesses heard numerous shots and saw two vehicles leave the scene shortly afterward — one described as a mid-1980s Toyota or K-car type and the other as a VW Rabbit-type — but police have not confirmed either vehicle was involved. No arrests or named suspects have been announced and the shooting method, whether from a vehicle or on foot, remains uncertain.

Did anyone in the Portland area have information about Brian, his routine that night, or sightings of those vehicles?
