In the early hours of January 8, 1995, at approximately 3:27 a.m., a shooting occurred at the Brothers Free Motorcycle Club located at 2222 NE Alberta Street in Portland, Oregon. Multiple gunshots were fired into the establishment, resulting in six individuals being struck while inside the club. Among the victims was 39-year-old Kenneth Duval Clinton, an African-American male, who sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
Following the incident, Mr.
Clinton was transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Despite medical efforts, he succumbed to complications from his injuries ten days later. The case remained unsolved for over two decades, with the Portland Police Bureau's Cold Case Homicide Unit continuing to seek information from the public to identify the perpetrator.
In January 2017, a significant development occurred when 47-year-old Adrian C. Stafford pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter and first-degree conspiracy to commit robbery in connection with the 1995 homicide of Kenneth Clinton. This plea brought a measure of closure to a case that had remained unresolved for 22 years.
