The Portland Police Bureau, in partnership with Crime Stoppers of Oregon, is asking for the public's help to solve a 2017 homicide.
On Tuesday November 28, 2017, at 11:03 p.m., East Precinct officers responded to the report of a shooting and car crash north of Southeast Stark Street on Southeast 157th Avenue.
As officers responded to the area of the reported shooting and crash, multiple people contacted 9-1-1 and reported hearing gunfire. When officers arrived on scene, they located a white SUV that had been involved in a crash. Officers approached the SUV and located 33-year-old Kacey Adam Platt suffering from traumatic injuries.
