In the early morning hours of October 23, 2018, the life of 27-year-old Tajheondre M. Price of Eugene, Oregon, was tragically cut short. Gunfire erupted near the Glass House Tavern at 9710 Northeast Sandy Boulevard in Portland, leaving Price with multiple gunshot wounds. When police officers responded to reports of the shooting at 1:35 a.m., they discovered Price on the sidewalk near the tavern.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Shortly after the shooting, a local hospital notified authorities that another man had arrived by private vehicle with a gunshot wound. Investigators believe this individual was injured in the same incident that claimed Price's life. This second victim was expected to survive his injuries. In the immediate aftermath, police did not release any information about a potential suspect but stated they did not believe there was an ongoing danger to the community.
Despite the initial investigation, there have been no public announcements regarding any arrests or the identification of any suspects in the years following the death of Tajheondre M. Price. The case remains unresolved, leaving a void for his family and friends who remember him as a funny, smiling, and beloved family man. His death is a somber reminder of the unsolved gun violence that has affected the Portland community.
