On June 27, 1995, at about 10:40 p.m., officers responded to a reported shooting in the 1200 block of NE Failing Street in Portland. Sixteen-year-old Patrick Curry, an African-American male, was found wounded and was taken to a local hospital, where he later died of an apparent gunshot wound.

Witnesses said an African-American male had been seen standing through the sunroof of a vehicle moments before the shooting. The car was described as light-colored and similar to a late 1980s Chevrolet Monte Carlo, last seen heading eastbound on NE Failing Street. Despite that lead, no arrests or suspect identifications have been reported and the case is classified as a cold case.

The Portland Police Cold Case Homicide Unit is seeking information and is offering cash rewards up to $2,500 for tips that could lead to an arrest. If anyone has information about the vehicle, the person seen through the sunroof, or other details, please come forward.
