The FBI is offering a reward of up to $15,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the murder of De’annzello McDonald. This is in addition to the previously offered reward of up to $2,500 from Crime Stoppers of Oregon.

At approximately 12:35 a.m., on June 11, 2020, officers from the Portland Police Bureau responded to a report of gunfire at the 600 block of NE 162nd Avenue in Portland, Oregon. When they arrived, they found the body of 28-year-old De’annzello McDonald. Surveillance video showed McDonald walking up a flight of stairs with two men. A fourth man ran towards them and then ran away holding something in his right hand. Based on information gathered to date, investigators believe the suspect to be a young Black man in his mid-20s, average height to 6’0” tall, with a thin frame and possibly braided hair. The suspect was wearing a light, multi-colored top jacket, dark or black pants, and a light-colored hat. He was seen getting into a blue or gray Ford Crown Victoria sedan.

“Ghost guns. Stolen guns. Illegally purchased guns. As these weapons flood our streets, law enforcement and the community are working to turn the corner on the metro area’s record-setting violence. We need help, though. We need witnesses and associates of those involved to step up and help us bring an end to the shootings and buckets of bullets littering our streets,” said Kieran L. Ramsey, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oregon.
