Late on May 25, 1992, 25-year-old Kevin Waldner was washing dishes at his Portland home on N. Borthwick when an unknown man appeared in his dining room. Waldner moved closer as the intruder turned toward the front door and saw the man was armed with what appeared to be a sawed-off rifle. The two struggled over the firearm; when Waldner released it the assailant stepped back and shot him in the stomach, then fled. Waldner survived the wound.

Investigators say this shooting was the last in a violent Memorial Day weekend spree that included two fatal shootings on N. Interstate Ave. — Fou Saechao, 43, was killed on May 22, and 31-year-old Anthony Lesina was found shot to death early on May 25. A witness saw a male fleeing Lesina’s scene in Lesina’s car.

Police describe the suspect as an African-American male, late teens to early twenties, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall and 140 to 160 pounds, wearing a long black athletic-style jacket and a black baseball cap with white lettering. No arrests have been reported. Does anyone with memories of Portland that weekend or information about the suspect come forward?
