On a summer evening in Portland, Oregon, a 26-year-old Caucasian male named Adrian Perdomo was walking near a city park. It was Sunday, August 14, 2022, and at around 10 p.m., his life was brought to an abrupt and violent end. Investigators believe that as Perdomo walked past Northgate Park in the vicinity of North Geneva Avenue, he was first assaulted and then fatally shot. When officers from the Portland Police Bureau responded to reports of a shooting, they discovered Perdomo's body.
The medical examiner would later confirm that he died from a gunshot wound, ruling his death a homicide. Several bullet casings were found near his body at the scene.
The investigation into Adrian Perdomo's murder was launched immediately by the Portland Police Homicide Unit, but the case has proven difficult to solve. In the days and months that followed, no suspects were publicly identified, and no arrests have been made, leaving a void of answers for his family and the community. The circumstances that led to the assault and shooting remain unclear to the public. The case has remained open and is an active and ongoing homicide investigation.
Due to the lack of leads, both local law enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have made public appeals for assistance. Believing there were witnesses present on the night of the killing, the FBI's Portland Field Office is offering a reward of up to $15,000 for any information that leads to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the individual or individuals responsible for Perdomo's death. Digital billboards in the Portland area have also been used to bring renewed attention to the case, urging anyone who may have seen or heard something that night to come forward. Despite these efforts, the case remains unsolved, and the search for justice for Adrian Perdomo continues.
