On the night of May 11, 1994, 20-year-old Tyrone Marquette Hayes was shot while in his bedroom at a home on the 5800 block of NE Killingsworth Street in Portland, Oregon. At about 1:20 a.m. he was talking with his girlfriend when gunfire erupted from the street below; standing up, he was struck in the head. Neighbors and the house exterior showed multiple bullet strikes, and two vehicles parked in front of the home were also hit.

Hayes was taken to a local hospital, underwent surgery, and later died of his head wound. His girlfriend and his mother, who had been asleep in another bedroom, were not physically injured. Investigators say the shots appear to have been fired from a passing vehicle; some witnesses reported a dark blue or black car leaving the area soon after the shooting, but police have not been able to connect that vehicle or its occupants to the killing.

No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced, and the case is now treated as a cold case. Does anyone who lived in the neighborhood at that time or who has information about a dark blue or black car leaving NE Killingsworth on the morning of May 11, 1994, have details to share?
