The Portland Police Bureau, in cooperation with Crime Stop- pers of Oregon, is asking for the public’s help to solve the homicide of a black man killed in North Portland’s Eliot Neigh- borhood in 2015 and cracking open the case of another black man killed in southeast Portland last month. On Nov. 11, 2015, at 3:16 p.m., North Precinct officers re- sponded to the report of a shoot- ing at North Vancouver Avenue and Fargo Street. Officers and medical personnel arrived and located the victim, 26-year-old Laray William Seamster, suf- fering from multiple gunshot wounds. Seamster was trans- ported to a Portland hospital for treatment but died shortly after arrival. Witnesses have told police Laray William Seamster Izryl T. Johnson that two younger black males were involved in the shooting and ran out of the area, possibly leaving in a silver vehicle. The second cold case dates to Oct. 7, 2018, when police re- sponded to Southeast 94th Ave- nue after multiple people called 9-1-1- to report gunfire. When officers arrived, they located Iz- ryl T. Johnson, 21, in the street suffering from gunshot wounds. Officers provided Johnson emergency medical aid until paramedics arrived at the scene. Ultimately, paramedics were un- able to save Johnson and he died at the scene. There is no suspect information in this case.
