Do you know who murdered Harold Rogers in 1999? In the early hours of a Saturday morning, on July 10, 1999, Harold Rogers was working as a security guard at Doc's Tavern in Portland, Oregon. At approximately 1:00 a.m., an altercation occurred involving three male patrons, which resulted in security staff, including Rogers, telling them to leave the establishment located at 3000 SE Powell Blvd. The initial confrontation seemed to have ended as the three men departed from the tavern.
About an hour after being ejected, two of the
individuals returned to the tavern's parking lot. This time, their intentions were violent. They opened fire on the two security guards who were on duty in the parking lot. In the ensuing chaos, Harold Rogers was struck by the gunfire and was killed. The assailants fled the scene, leaving a homicide investigation in their wake.
The case remains unsolved, with no arrests having been made. Authorities have described two suspects directly involved in the shooting. The first is described as a Vietnamese male, who at the time was between 20 to 25 years old, with a thin build and standing between 5'5" and 5'7" tall. He had short hair with long bangs and a noticeable cut on his hand or finger. He was seen wearing a blood-smeared T-shirt, khaki pants, and a gold-colored wristwatch. The second suspect is also described as a Vietnamese male in the same age range and with a similar height and build, wearing a white shirt and dark pants. A third individual, considered a person of interest, was present during the initial altercation but not the shooting. He was described as a Vietnamese male, 40 to 45 years old at the time, with a stocky build, a pot belly, and was either bald or balding. He wore wire-framed glasses and possibly had a mustache.
