On September 18, 1995, Anthony Branch Sr., a 36-year-old African-American man, was shot to death in his apartment at 2025 SE Ash Street in Portland, Oregon. The shooting occurred about 8:25 pm after two unidentified African-American men wearing ski masks forced entry through the apartment’s sliding glass doors and opened fire. The intruders were seen fleeing eastbound on Ash Street.

Branch was reported to have links to the Crips and to the sale of crack cocaine, which investigators say may have been a factor in the killing. No arrests or identifications of the two masked suspects have been reported, and the Portland Police Cold Case Homicide Unit continues to investigate. Tips can be submitted to the Cold Case Homicide Unit or anonymously through Crime Stoppers of Oregon.

Does anyone who lived in that neighborhood in 1995 or who knew Branch have information that could help resolve this case?
