On the morning of September 8, 1983, Joseph George Jaha, 56, was killed during an armed robbery at Sea Sands Seafood Market on Southeast Belmont Street in Portland. Two masked men with handguns entered the market around 9:30 a.m. and demanded money. A physical struggle followed; Jaha was shot and killed and his brother, who co-owned the business, was injured. Witnesses described the suspects as two white males, one taller with dark hair and a shorter man with sandy-colored hair. The pair fled after the shooting.

Despite witness descriptions and a reward being offered, no arrests have been made and the Portland Police Bureau lists the killing as a cold case. Is there anyone who remembers that day or has information that could help bring justice for Joseph Jaha?
